In a recent analysis, CNN’s data expert Harry Enten has highlighted that the legal actions initiated by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg against former President Donald Trump are not affecting his political traction. Enten observed that the American public remains largely unmoved by the trial, with significant focus still placed on pressing issues like the economy and immigration rather than the legal proceedings.

A recent CNN poll supports Enten’s assessment, showing that 56% of Americans believe Trump cannot receive a fair trial. The perception of the legal actions being politically driven is widespread. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria echoed these sentiments, suggesting that the indictment against Trump likely would not have occurred if he were not the defendant, highlighting the political undertones of the legal battle.

Judge Merchan’s handling of the trial has come under scrutiny, particularly for his complex jury instructions and the decision to elevate a misdemeanor charge to a felony. These actions have further fueled the belief that the trial process is biased against Trump.

WOAH ? The Donald Trump Trial Is RIGGED

Judge Merchan just told the jury that they do not need unanimity to convict. 4 could agree on one crime, 4 on a different one, and the other 4 on another. He said he would treat 4-4-4 as a unanimous verdict.

Despite these legal challenges, Trump’s support base remains steadfast. His political rallying cry against perceived injustices appears to resonate with his followers, who view the legal actions as a continuation of political attacks. This unwavering support is evident in the polling data and public opinion.

As the trial progresses, its implications for the 2024 presidential election are a matter of significant interest. Trump’s ability to maintain his political influence amidst these legal battles is a testament to his strong connection with his base. The ongoing trial and its perceived fairness will undoubtedly play a critical role in shaping the political landscape leading up to the election.

In conclusion, the attempts to legally challenge Trump seem to be backfiring, as they only reinforce his narrative of being targeted for political reasons. The steadfast support from his base and the skepticism surrounding the fairness of the trial indicate that Trump’s political journey is far from derailed.
