eh.. most of that will be going to pay Trump's legal bills rather than actually running the campaign for any R. |
The polls are mixed, but it seems that Biden got more of a bump from the NY trial than Trump. But it's still early. I think as it settles in, and especially if/when Trump's appeal is rejected or denied, then it will become a bigger deal. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/06/trump-vs-biden-2024-election-polling-postverdict-felony-conviction.html
But slightly more significant (IMHO) is that a majority between 54-57% of Americans polled in several polls think that the verdict was correct and on average, a little over 50% of people polled think he needs to end his campaign. Not surprisingly that is party dependant, with ballpark 30% of Republicans, over 50% of Independants and near 70% of Democrats thinking he needs to end his campaign. I think the longer he tries to push his campaign and without any reversal of the conviction, that the more likely his support will continue to shrink. His campaign is on a life-line that is going to go away. The key swing voters are leaning more towards voting against Trump than ever before. If they can't change the messaging, the swing voters and swing states are going to erode from Trump. |
Not only will he finally be paying many of the lawyers who have been working unpaid for months, he's also siphoning off money to help his troubled Trump brand and businesses. You can bet that this will increase with the money coming in. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/18/trump-campaign-funnels-money-to-his-businesses/73344744007/ |
Perfectly said. MAGA are a bunch of petulant children! |
The truly sad part is that even as a convicted felon, and being someone who supported an insurrection that got law enforcement officers killed and has bragged about grabby women's pussies, he still has a higher favorability than Joe Biden. |
The GOP has been "investigating" for decades, yet they never seem to gather enough evidence sufficient for a criminal indictment. I'm starting to question their intent. |
9% of democrats votes uncommited in that election. |
He doesn't have a higher favorability as President, he has higher name recognition. Biden is ahead on likely voters, especially in swing states. When given the choice at the ballot box I'm confident trump will lose. I know, bUt 2016! That was BEFORE many saw how horrible he was. MAGA has been on a losing streak since 2018, why would 2024 be any different? And no matter how MAGA tries to spin this, Trump isn't picking up new support. tldr; I'd rather be Biden than Trump. |
Not since the start of the NY trial. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/06/05/biden-vs-trump-2024-election-polls-trump-and-biden-tied-if-rfk-jr-is-on-the-ballot/?sh=c8b8fca148b2

Isn't it amazing that all these "witch hunts" are supported by evidence and testimony from Trump's own people? It's a mystery! |
NYPD canceling trump’s carry permit and collecting his guns. Felons aren’t permitted weapons. |
That’s fine as long as Melania gets to keep her guns. She must be sooo mad at him. |
I guess that kinda makes sense given what his neck looks like. |
