Dems’ Lawfare Campaign Is Still the 2024 Favorite over Donald Trump

In a post this week regarding former president Trump’s being cited for contempt by Judge Juan Merchan, I argued that the gag order Trump violated multiple times is unwarranted because there are reasons of law and self-interest that should induce the de facto 2024 Republican presidential nominee to rein it in. In making that point, I stressed: “Trump’s diatribes remind the majority of voters in the country who oppose him why they oppose him.”

I said “the majority of voters” oppose Trump because it is true. It’s not credibly contestable. It has been true for almost a decade that a majority of voters oppose him, as he heads into what, for now, looks like a very tight election.
