Biden Campaign to Use New York Verdict Against Trump in 2024 Ads, Shocking No One

Kristina Wong 19 Jun 2024

Biden campaign advisers say they are planning to use in political ads the guilty verdict in the recent case brought against former President Donald Trump by Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, in a move that should shock no one.

According to Politico, Biden advisers are aiming to keep “Trump’s felony conviction top-of-mind for voters who haven’t yet fully tuned into the election.”

“We’ve seen in polling since the conviction that the more the conviction is front and center in voters’ attention, the worse it is for Trump,” a Biden campaign pollster told the outlet anonymously.

The pollster said research showed that Trump’s conviction “could effectively be used in a broader depiction of Trump as being self-centered and unwilling to take responsibility for his actions.”

The Five had a good take on this one yesterday, pretty much saying that this is a waste of money, as almost all the soft middle uncommited vote is flipping the lever around economic issues instead of sham lawfare.

It might cause a few more ounces of foam being spewed from his rabid base....  but nothing more.  Biden pissing away $50M is fine with me.

With the gag order still in effect, does this mean Trump can't respond to these ads?

That's the way I read it, but Trump can still use his most powerful surrogates to respond.  aka...  All hands on deck.
