The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

As the eve of Super Tuesday had previously been proposed as the start date for the Georgia case against Donald Trump, it's clear that these criminal cases are part of a Biden administration plan to interfere with the 2024 election to prevent Trump from winning back the White House. Additionally, the March 4, 2024 date makes it impossible for Trump's lawyers to provide adequate defense in this case.

Anti-Trump narrative

The delaying strategy of Trump's legal team has gone wrong as Judge Chutkan reaffirmed the primacy of the legal system over political scheduling. He and his allies may cry election interference but, like any defendant in this country, Trump will have to make the trial date work despite his personal and professional obligations. After all, the public deserves a prompt and efficient resolution on such a serious case.
