The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

It’s full steam ahead for Trump to secure the Republican nomination, and his campaign has Democratic Attorney General Bragg to thank for a lot of his success. Trump was already crushing DeSantis and Haley in the polls, and now because of the politically-motivated indictment, Trump’s fundraising is on a roll. A return to the White House is within reach.

Democratic narrative

Trump shouldn’t celebrate too much. His ravenous base might’ve been energized into donating more in the weeks since his indictment, but there’s no telling if the increased fundraising has staying power. Trump's campaign’s average weekly haul is at the same level it was shortly after the 2022 midterms — a sign it could flatten out after the initial outrage subsides.
