The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Although it’s disappointing that a Trump-appointed judge didn’t agree with the Trump legal team’s request, at least the voters will probably have selected the Republican nominee before the start of the trial. There’s still a chance the trial could be further delayed, especially since a case involving a former president is so unique and will require many motions.

Daily Wire

Democratic narrative

Cannon has rightfully rejected the Trump team’s ridiculous request to have the trial pushed until after the election. This spoils Trump’s lawyers’ plan of having this case go away by virtue of him winning the presidency. Meanwhile, this date works just fine for prosecutors.

New York Times

Republican narrative

Democrats’ weaponization of the US Dept. Justice is working to perfection, and Cannon is now complicit. Not only are indictments against Trump — who Democrats want to run against — improving his chances of winning the nomination, but this trial date means most primary voters won’t know his legal status when they go to the polls. Democrats have obtained their goal of maximum interference in the election.
