Former President Donald Trump’s mugshot will not play well for him in a general election, a dismissive ex-White House Press Secretary and MSNBC host Jen Psaki said.
she wrote for her weekly MSNBC Daily newsletter titled “Trump’s mug shot will backfire in 2024” to set out her claim.
Psaki argued independent and moderate voters will not be more likely to vote for the former president because he “was booked in the Fulton County Jail.” She further noted while Trump and his allies are “leaning into” the mugshot, it may only be received well by his base and be ignored everywhere else:
This photo will be shared on every text thread in America. Sometimes, images are more persuasive than anything. And it is hard to imagine that this image, of Trump scowling into the police camera, will make him more appealing to anyone who is not already a hardcore supporter.“They didn’t need the mugshot. It was, I guess to her, probably a trophy, but thank you, because now the trophy actually became ours,” Trump spokeswoman Alina Habba said.
