In this podcast, Hector and Mike discuss President Trump's unprecedented conviction on 34 counts and the perception that the trial is a political strategy to prevent his 2024 run. The trial was orchestrated by political opponents, with New York DA Alvin Bragg prioritizing Trump’s prosecution over pressing local crime issues, and it is starting to backfire, at least when it comes to fundraising.
Trump’s campaign raised $53 million in just 24 hours after the jury found him guilty. This trail has galvanized his base rather than diminished his political prospects.
The timing of the sentencing, set just before the Republican National Convention, further fuels speculation of political maneuvering.
Hector and Mike also compare Trump's legal troubles to everyday concerns of voters, like inflation and the cost of living, suggesting these issues resonate more with the public than the legal proceedings against Trump.
