The opinion editor at The Washington Post, Alexi McCammond, expressed confusion about why the Democrats’ legal battles have not negatively impacted former President Donald Trump, especially after a new poll shows Trump outperforming President Joe Biden in crucial swing states. Despite Trump’s ongoing legal battles, McCammond questions why he still maintains a lead over Biden in recent polls.
McCammond notes that Trump’s courtroom appearances have prevented him from holding frequent campaign events, but this has not hindered his chances for re-election in 2024 or improved Biden’s public image. The legal battles against Trump are seen as efforts to hamper his campaign activities and tarnish his character to boost Biden’s appeal among disenchanted voters.
Despite these efforts, the left has not seen the desired results, as Trump continues to lead Biden in polls among registered and likely voters. Additionally, Trump has gained support from Hispanic voters and younger demographics.
In response, Democratic operatives like Judge Juan Merchan have intensified their efforts to achieve the desired outcomes of the legal battles. Merchan has issued a gag order preventing Trump from making statements that highlight potential biases or partisan motives behind the cases.
Overall, the left’s tactics have not been as effective as hoped, as Trump maintains his popularity and support among various demographic groups.
