Democrats Avoid Predictions in Early Primary Contests
In the open race, Ford and Reagan trade forecasts while Democrats avoid bold claims. With six leading candidates in New Hampshire on February 24 and a larger field in Massachusetts, party strategists foresee no clear favorites. Governors and managers downplay victory targets, focusing on avoiding big losses and staying in the race through later states like New York on April 6.

Church eyes late primaries for 1976 Democratic bid
Senator Church plans a March entry into the presidential race hoping late primaries boost his standing. He cites campaign finance limits and multiple candidates as reasons a late start could still reach the nominating convention. He aims for key Western states and California, while denying a Humphrey style liberal rivalry. He projects a $500,000 war chest by California filing, though fundraising trails Jackson.

House Speaker Carl Albert says passage of U S aid for Angola is unlikely as Senate bars funds in a $112 billion defense bill. Ford seeks lifting the ban but Albert doubts swift approval, citing Russia support and U S reluctance to confront Moscow. He calls for bipartisan foreign policy and a possible House retreat to fully cut backing.
