The Jan. 6 committee is gearing up for what could be its final prime-time public hearing next week, offering viewers at home a version of its closing arguments.
This panel, controlled by Democrats but also seating two Never Trump Republicans, is supposed to determine who did what on the day of the attack on the Capitol two weeks before President Joe Biden was sworn into office.
Rep. Bennie Thompson , the committee’s chairman, called the Capitol breach the"culmination of an attempted coup,” going further than former national security adviser John Bolton."Donald Trump was at the center of that conspiracy. And ultimately, Donald Trump, the president of the United States, spurred a mob of domestic enemies of the Constitution to march down to the Capitol and subvert American democracy," Thompson said.
Not for the first time, some Democrats have to entertain these hopes about Trump too. Read the polls, Jack. What if Democrats can’t dislodge Biden, who has been seeking the presidency for 35 years, in pursuit of more Golden State pastures? Trump may be the only Republican a weakened Biden could beat.The conventional wisdom in 2016 was that Trump would be the easiest Republican for Clinton to beat.
Without a detailed state-by-state breakdown, we don’t know if Biden’s 44% to 41% lead over Trump in the New York Times/Siena College poll would actually translate to an Electoral College victory. Clinton’s 2016 popular vote margin was 2.1 percentage points nationally.
