“A guilty verdict for Donald Trump in his New York hush-money trial would be unprecedented in presidential history — but even President Biden’s team isn’t sure it would matter come November,” Axios reports.
“Despite everything — weeks of embarrassing trial headlines for Trump, Biden’s big swing state push and his onslaught of ads — the race appears to be stuck, with Trump holding a slight lead in most polls.”
“Many Democrats are resigned to the notion that most Americans’ opinions of Trump-as-a-person aren’t going to change.”
Said Democratic strategist Jim Messina: “This was always going to be a close election, and a conviction is not likely to make a huge dent in how most people view Trump.”
