As a Manhattan jury found former US President Donald Trump guilty on Thursday of all 34 counts in the secret money case, President Joe Biden's election campaign is reviewing its strategy to exploit this fact to its advantage. That is how.
In an Instagram post after Trump's conviction, Joe Biden said, “There is only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box.”
There may be expectations that Democrats will transform their electoral strategy for 2024, however, Joe Biden's advisors believe there is no change in plan, according to cnn.
The outlet reported, citing sources: “The convictions may not move the needle in a major way in the election, but an acquittal could have really helped Trump, turning Thursday's decision into a big victory for Biden's campaign.”
A senior official said cnn Thursday: “It matters.”
According to people close to Biden, 81, the acquittal would not only have validated Trump's claims of being unfairly persecuted, but “further fueled the fatalism of already deflated Biden supporters who have come to believe that nothing can touch to Trump.”
The source added: “A 12-member jury convicted him. I can't get 12 people to agree on what to have for dinner.”
“The risk of condemnation is that there are people who continue to think that there is something that will prevent Donald Trump from being the candidate or being president,” said a former Biden associate. “That's not the case. If you don't want Donald Trump, you have to vote against him.”
