Biden has told WH aides and his broader re-election team that they should say nothing about Trump's legal troubles to avoid leaving the impression that he's misusing power for political advantage. Some pro-Biden allies say his stance isn't sustainable.
46th and current president of the United StatesWASHINGTON — A week after Donald Trump’s federal indictment, some Democrats are breaking with President Joe Biden’s decision to stay silent about his opponent’s legal troubles, warning that Trump can’t be allowed to shape voters’ views of a criminal case that could decide the 2024 election.
The aide, who helped run a successful competitive midterm campaign and who requested anonymity to offer a frank assessment of his party's strategy, said Democrats are committing a grievous political error by allowing Trump to frame the indictment on his terms. After the 37-count indictment was released, Biden and a small cadre of top aides gave “explicit direction” to the re-election campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the White House staff not to comment on the matter, said a person familiar with the directive.
"The DCCC will continue holding vulnerable House Republicans accountable for putting fealty to their party and federally-indicted, twice-impeached president over public safety,” spokesperson Courtney Rice said in a statement. Another Democratic strategist, who requested anonymity, said Democrats shouldn't focus solely on an economic message, arguing it's short-sighted to forfeit the opportunity to showcase Trump’s legal peril — even when voters say they care most about so-called kitchen table issues.
