Karl Rove Says Guilty Verdict Could Cost Trump Election

Karl Rove told Fox News that Donald Trump’s guilty verdicts in the “hush money” trial could cost him the key swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Said Rove: “Let’s not underestimate that there is a problem.”

He added: “Think about this. Those numbers, like 11% less likely to vote for him, think about Michigan where they’re, in the RealClearPolitics average, Donald Trump is up by one half of 1%. Or Pennsylvania, where he’s up by 2%, or Wisconsin, where he’s up by 3/10 of 1%. So in a close race, like we’re likely to have, having 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11% of the electorate less likely to vote for you is a problem.”
