The Republican Party’s post-FBI-raid rally around former President Donald Trump could provide an inadvertent boost to another politician: President Joe Biden.
Biden wouldn’t dare touch the politics of a criminal investigation, according to White House officials and party operatives. But at a time when most Democrats want a different nominee in 2024, the GOP’s elevation of Trump plays into the current president’s hands.
The prospect of a “heavyweight fight” helps “both Biden and Trump,” added a prominent House progressive who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid upsetting liberals who aren’t thrilled with Biden. The Republican response to the FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home “all but assures them both the nomination,” the lawmaker said.
“No good comes in inserting yourself,” Jay Jacobs, chairman of the New York Democratic Party, said. “It only diminishes the credibility of the professional investigations that are going on.”“He would not comment or discuss in any way whatsoever,” one White House official said of the FBI search of Trump’s home.
Biden “should and very well could” launch a campaign between the midterms and the end of the year, said the source close to the White House. The source added that Biden’s recent spate of legislative victories and executive actions, including, are putting him on a path to run a “promises made, promises kept” campaign — the exact slogan Trump used in 2020.
Shurtleff added that the pressure has been “tremendous, and even someone half his age would have problems keeping up with that pace and intensity.”One Democratic lawmaker who is close to the Biden White House has a different set of mixed feelings about the raid.
