Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump has just delivered the bad news to the Democrats that their lawfare attacks have backfired.
The Democratic Party’s attempt to brand President Donald Trump a “convicted felon” is not dissuading voters from backing him, she revealed.
Trump’s daughter-in-law told Breitbart News that nostalgia among voters will ensure the 45th president is re-elected in November.
The RNC co-chair said that swing voters are more concerned about issues like inflation and public safety than any label attached to Trump’s name.
A fresh poll found that less than 50% of Americans approve of Trump’s conviction.
This is hardly the kind of consensus that Democrats would want to see.
In addition, 51% believe the case was politically motivated.
Trump has vowed to appeal his conviction.
However, a reversal is unlikely before the election, meaning voters will have to deliver their own verdict on November 5.
While Democrats try their best to label Trump a criminal, President Joe Biden is faring poorly in the polls.
Biden is struggling on issues that matter most to voters, like the economy and immigration.
“I think what suburban women are looking at right now are their kids and their families and they’re saying it is much harder to put food on the table for my family,” Lara Trump said.
“It’s much harder to go to the grocery store and make my dollar stretch, much harder to fill up my gas tank.
“I don’t feel safe taking my kids places,” she added.
“I don’t feel safe as a woman walking certain places anymore in my community.”
Lara Trump predicted that nostalgia for her father-in-law’s presidency would be the deciding factor in another close election.
“Whether it’s suburban women, whether it’s black voters, Hispanic voters, everyone’s life is suffering right now, and people want to get back to normalcy,” she said.
“They want their country back.
“They want their life back…and they know who brought it to them.”
Lara Trump mocked the “convenient” timing of the sentencing date.
Democrat Judge Juan Merchan, a Biden donor, scheduled the sentencing hearing for just a few days before the Republican National Convention.
Trump is facing up to four years in prison at the hands of Judge Juan Merchan, the leftist judge who oversaw Trump’s “hush money” trial.
Based on how the trial played out in New York, many expect the judge to throw the book at Trump.
Another variable was thrown into the mix this week with Hunter Biden’s felony conviction on gun charges.
Republicans have dismissed the verdict as a distraction from more serious wrongdoing involving the Biden family.
It also appears to be an attempt to make Trump’s conviction look fair and impartial.
Whether or not Joe Biden wins in November, it’s highly likely that he will commute his son’s sentence once the election is out of the way.
While it’s too soon for Republicans to celebrate, Trump’s conviction does not appear to be having the impact that Democrats hoped for.
