Potential Impact of Trump’s Criminal Trial Verdict on 2024 Election Between Trump and Biden
The fate of former President Trump now rests in the hands of the jury as they deliberate on the nearly three-dozen state felony charges he faces in his historic trial in New York City. With the possibility of a guilty verdict looming, the outcome could have serious implications for the 2024 election between Trump and President Biden.
Despite holding a slight edge in national polling and crucial battleground states, Trump’s legal troubles could potentially alter the trajectory of the White House race. Pollsters Chris Anderson and Daron Shaw weighed in on the potential impact of a guilty verdict, with Anderson comparing it to the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape that briefly damaged Trump’s chances in the 2016 election.
While some voters may be swayed by a guilty verdict, recent polls suggest that a majority would not change their vote based on the outcome of the trial. However, Trump supporters remain steadfast in their support, with the majority indicating they would continue to back him even if he is found guilty.
As the trial unfolds, the political landscape remains uncertain, with the possibility of an acquittal or a hung jury also on the table. Regardless of the outcome, the trial is sure to have a lasting impact on the 2024 campaign, shaping the narrative for both candidates as they vie for the presidency.
Stay tuned for the latest developments in the Trump criminal trial and its implications for the upcoming election.
