Chalk it up to the law of unintended consequences. The Biden campaign welcomed Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Donald Trump.

They expected the conviction to destroy Trump’s standing in the polls. They didn’t realize their lawfare would help Trump erode Biden’s last remaining advantage—his fundraising.

In the first day after the guilty verdict, Trump raised $53 million dollars. His May total was an eye-popping $141 million dollars—almost twice as much as he raised in April. Trump had raised $124 million from 2021 through April of 2024. Now he’s more than doubled that figure.

For context: Biden’s raised some $195 million to date.

Given his sorry record, all Biden can do is demonize Trump. If the former president can summon the discipline to focus on a policy agenda for the future, he’s sitting in the catbird seat.

It certainly looks like he’ll have the resources to get his message out.
