I read with interest Noah Rothman’s analysis of what effect Trump’s conviction might have on his “unlikely voters”: the marginal and low-propensity voters that are, in theory, more likely to vote for him than for Joe Biden, and who might — again, in theory — be decisive in winning Trump a second term.

Will undecideds concerned about their grocery bills and the price at the pump rally to Donald Trump? Or will they be repelled by “Trump the convicted felon” and pull the lever for the incumbent or, perhaps more likely, simply stay home on Election Day?
