How the Biden Campaign Is Responding to the Verdict

Politico notes President Biden’s aides offered three reasons why they weren’t being more vocal about Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in his “hush money” criminal trial:

“1. There’s no need to spike the football when the conviction is already dominating the news; 2. polling suggests the race will turn on other issues, so seizing on the conviction could be a trap; and 3. they can always readjust if the conviction somehow turns into more of an anchor for Trump.”
