WASHINGTON, April 2 — When Joe Biden was asked this morning about the impact that the indictment of his White House predecessor and political rival Donald Trump would have on America, the US president had an emphatic response: no comment.
That plan could be tested in the days ahead, as Republicans rally around Trump, attack the US judicial system, and some, including Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, make plans for a New York City protest on Tuesday - the day the former president is due in court in Manhattan - that some fear could turn violent.
“They’ve been smart to stay out of it,” Democratic strategist Lis Smith said of the White House strategy on Trump. “In 2020, Joe Biden benefited from voters’ exhaustion with the chaos of the Trump administration. The split screen of President Biden focused on doing his job well versus Trump and the Republican Party in chaos will only help him.”
That calculation could shift if Trump supporters upset by the criminal charges erupt in violence and once Biden begins an expected re-election campaign and may be forced eventually to confront Trump directly on a debate stage. Trump is seeking to regain the presidency in 2024.
