Today’s Headlines: In the New Hampshire primary, Donald Trump won with just over 53% of the vote, while Nikki Haley received slightly over 45%. Turnout was higher than expected, and an exit poll showed voters evenly split on whether President Biden legitimately won the 2020 election. In the DC federal appeals court, all 11 judges unanimously rejected Trump's request to lift a gag order related to the DOJ special counsel indictment. The order restricts Trump from making inflammatory remarks targeting DOJ special counsel Jack Smith and others involved. New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals a new low in the percentage of American workers who are union members. Internationally, videos of antisemitic speeches by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard in the UK are under investigation by the Charity Commission. The IRGC's involvement in more than "soft" warfare in the UK was also noted. Lastly, the Turkish parliament voted in favor of Sweden joining NATO after nearly 2 years of objections, pending approval from President Erdogan and Hungarian Prime Minister Orban. Sweden's potential admission is seen as consequential for geographic and strategic reasons.
