In a surprising turn of events, the guilty verdict in the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former president Donald Trump has actually benefitted the GOP nominee. Some analysts had predicted that voters would abandon Trump if he were found guilty of a felony, but the verdict seems to have only increased support for Trump.
The Trump campaign announced that it had raised almost $53 million in the 24 hours after the guilty verdict was delivered. This is a significant increase from their previous fundraising efforts, and it demonstrates strong support for Trump even in the face of legal challenges.

By contrast, President Joe Biden’s recent campaign hauls have paled in comparison to Trump’s post-verdict fundraising success. Biden raised $51 million in all of April, while Trump surpassed that in just one day. This surge in donations underscores the enthusiasm and dedication of Trump’s supporters.
Even attempts by Biden’s campaign to fundraise off the verdict were met with criticism and derision on social media platforms. The response from the public suggests that the guilty verdict did not resonate with voters and may have even galvanized support for Trump.
President Biden’s remarks about the verdict and the justice system were met with skepticism, especially in light of controversies surrounding his own family. The apparent political motivations behind the case against Trump have raised doubts about the credibility of the legal process.
Overall, the guilty verdict in the Bragg case has backfired on the left, bolstering support for Trump and underscoring the weaknesses of the opposition. The surge in fundraising for Trump’s campaign signals a strong momentum heading into the upcoming election cycle.
