Following the recent conviction of former President Donald Trump, the Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair, Michael Wadley, provided insights into the impact on fundraising and public support. Wadley revealed that the RNC experienced a surge in website traffic post-conviction, leading to a temporary crash due to high volume. The overwhelming support reflected the belief among many that the trial was politically biased and a 'show trial.'
Despite warnings from the Trump campaign against fundraising off the conviction, the RNC emphasized directing support towards the President and maintaining focus on election strategies. Wadley stressed the importance of highlighting the differences between the Trump and Biden administrations, citing economic concerns such as rising housing costs, inflation, and stagnant wages as key issues affecting American families.
