During a recent interview, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Watley, discussed the ongoing trial involving former President Trump. Trump expressed resignation to the idea that the legal system was stacked against him, referring to the charges as rigged. Despite this, Watley highlighted that the campaign has been successful in fundraising and gaining support during the trial.
Watley emphasized the differences between Trump and Biden, citing Trump's track record on issues such as border security and the economy. He also mentioned the impact of the trial on the campaign strategy, noting that Trump's ability to directly communicate with the American people remains a significant advantage.
Internal Trump polling revealed that a majority of voters believe politics played a role in Trump's prosecutions, with many viewing the trial through a partisan lens. Watley acknowledged that the public perception of the trial has likely already been factored into how voters view Trump, with a focus on reinforcing a narrative of grievance.
Regarding the economy, Watley criticized Biden's energy policies for contributing to rising prices, particularly in gasoline and housing. He highlighted the challenges faced by American families due to inflation and emphasized the need for policies to address these issues.
Looking ahead, Watley expressed confidence in the campaign's prospects, citing leads in battleground states and a clear understanding among voters of the differences between Trump and Biden. He underscored the importance of addressing economic concerns and bringing down prices to improve the well-being of American families.
