WASHINGTON — 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. Trump, of course, hasn’t been quiet. He pleaded not guilty, and he has publicly dismissed his prosecution as purely political and at the behest of Biden. He denies any wrongdoing.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is looking to put Republicans on the spot about whether they’ll echothe Justice Department and the FBI — two agencies that investigated his handling of sensitive national security records. Democratic consultant Tyler Law said Biden’s primary task in the 2024 campaign is “clarifying the choice” for voters, adding that Trump’s status as a “twice-indicted narcissist” will help drive home the difference between the two.“We should absolutely speak forcefully in defense of the rule of law and the FBI,” Law said. “Republicans are loudly and proudly anti-law enforcement, and that’s not a winning position outside of a narrow band of wing nuts.
