Regardless of what verdict the jurors in New York City render in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s contrived prosecution of former President Donald Trump, the lack of interest in the trial may turn it into a major asset for the former president.

As the jury in the trial continues its deliberations, the rest of the country is continuing on as though nothing is happening. A poll from early May showed that a majority of the country is not following the former president’s trial, and a more recent poll indicates that voters are unlikely to shift their votes away from Trump if he is convicted.
