As Trump finds himself entangled in courtroom proceedings, branded by him as a continuous “witch hunt,” liberal media outlets seem buoyed by the prospect of his downfall. Yet, the charges leveled against him thus far have only served to rally his supporters, who perceive them as unjust persecution. Despite the legal challenges, Trump’s approval ratings remain largely unaffected, and he has successfully leveraged the situation for fundraising.
Many fair-minded Americans view the ongoing legal actions against Trump as politically motivated, part of a longstanding effort to undermine him. So far, the numerous accusations leveled against Donald Trump have strengthened his support among people who believe he is being treated unfairly. His approval rating has not been affected.
Meanwhile, President Biden has been actively campaigning against his opponent, seizing every opportunity to criticize Trump. Biden’s administration has pushed for aggressive legal action against Trump, amplifying the partisan divide.
Biden benefits from diverting attention to Trump’s trial from the blunders and failed strategies of his own policies, such as the crisis on the southern border and economic problems related to fiscal policy.
Biden’s public appearances have also exposed him to scrutiny, as his gaffes and missteps accumulate. Trump, seizing on these moments, criticizes Biden’s decisions and policies, from handling unrest to foreign policy choices like lifting sanctions on Iran.
With the spotlight on the legal proceedings, Biden may find himself vulnerable to Trump’s criticisms, potentially diminishing the Democrats’ advantage in the upcoming election. The countdown to the election continues, and Trump’s imminent return to an active role in the political arena seems inevitable.
