Are Democrats Trump’s best ally?

Julian Zelizer : Some conservatives think indictments against Donald Trump are an attempt to stop him from becoming president.

He says Democrats spent millions to help nominate “ Trumpy ’s” candidates in midterms.

But Democrats may have learned from their midterm experiment, believing even more now that they have a better shot of winning the presidency if Trump is on the ballot, he says.

Zelizer says the timing of the indictments is interesting.

Trump has skyrocketed to a 40 point lead over his nearest rivals in the primaries among Republican voters.

It’s not hard to see why many consider this spring trial date terrible timing for the many qualified candidates trying to challenge him for the nomination.

If current efforts to prosecute Trump are moving the needle significantly in his favor, it sure does seem like the stars are aligning for President Joe Biden to win reelection.
