'Are America’s 45th and 46th presidents politically invulnerable? That’s a conclusion you might come to from the response to the indictment of Donald Trump on June 8 and the guilty plea by Joe Biden’s son Hunter announced on June 20.' -MichaelBarone
If the Trump indictment has had any perceptible effect on his chances to win his third consecutive Republican presidential nomination, it isn’t apparent in the polls. Any changes in the percentages in Republican primaries have been within the margin of error, and in the three general election polls taken since June 8 his lead over Biden averages 44% to 40%.There’s been no time for pollsters to gauge voters’ response to the Biden indictment.
Still, there is no perceptible move among Democrats for any alternative to Biden. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., polling at 16%, provides an alternative for Democrats seriously discontent with Biden or attracted to Kennedy’s unusual positions on vaccines and similar issues.
They are happy to dismiss the Hunter Biden indictment as irrelevant, and are apparently untroubled, to the extent they give it any thought, by his $50,000-a-month contract with the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma when his father was vice president. Most old-line media and cable news outlets are uninterested in exploring these stories as well.
Trump supporters can argue that Hunter Biden benefited from a double standard. Despite liberal protestations, it’s not clear that most defendants who lie on gun forms get off with no felony charge. And there’s obviously a contrast between Trump’s treatment and the Obama administration’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails. The prosecution decision was made by the U.S.
