This morning, both Donald Trump and the Biden team find themselves in agreement on one topic - the November election. Recent polls indicate that Trump's verdict may not sway many voters. Democratic pollster and former Clinton adviser Mark Penn warns that this verdict could potentially benefit Trump.
Following the conviction, Republicans are reportedly infuriated, with the verdict serving as a rallying point for them leading up to the November elections. Penn suggests that the verdict may energize the Republican base more than the Democratic base, which already held negative views of Trump.
When it comes to independent voters, Penn believes they are more concerned about key issues such as inflation, immigration, crime, abortion, and climate change, rather than the ongoing legal proceedings.
Both the Biden team and Trump's camp are actively fundraising in the wake of the verdict. The Biden team emphasizes the importance of defeating Trump at the ballot box through campaign donations.
Regarding the upcoming Hunter Biden trial, Penn predicts that it may have a limited impact on politics, potentially affecting President Biden personally more than politically. The trial, focused on a gun charge, is not expected to significantly sway voters.
As for the potential outcome of the election if held today, Penn notes that Trump was leading in swing states prior to the recent events. While the situation remains fluid, Trump's ability to portray himself as a victim and rally his base could play a significant role in the upcoming election.
Overall, the recent verdict has sparked intense debate and speculation about its impact on the political landscape leading up to the November elections.
