WASHINGTON — With a verdict in Donald Trump’s hush money trial set to come as soon as next week, President Joe Biden’s campaign is exploring a shift to a new, more aggressive posture, according to two people familiar with the strategy.

Regardless of the outcome, top Biden campaign officials plan to stress to voters that Trump will be on the ballot in the fall and that no potential court proceeding will change that fact. A person familiar with the discussions summed it up this way: “Donald Trump’s legal troubles are not going to keep him out of the White House. Only one thing will do that: voting this November for Joe Biden.”

If Trump is found guilty at his state trial in New York City, the Biden campaign will also consider whether to brand him as a “convicted felon,” this person added. “It’s an open question.” Campaign officials are also weighing whether to amplify that kind of messaging with key surrogates on the airwaves or an ad buy or both. Those conversations are ongoing, as well, the second source said.

“The only way to truly stop Trump is to defeat him once and for all at the ballot box and not expect a conviction to play a huge role,” said Jim Messina, a Democratic strategist who was a campaign manager for former President Barack Obama. “The campaign’s job is to remind voters why they already voted Trump out and convince them to turn out for Biden by making this a choice between two vastly different candidates.

5. cuz most ppl arent paying attention yet.

traditionally that doesnt happen til after labor day. obvs this time it’s different. but it’s still hard to get eyes and ears in the summer.

[EYESORE 9001]

6. I have given this considerable thought

and in the I have decided that these decisions are best made by professionals in the business. Timing is everything, after all, and the election is still months away. Don’t want to ‘shoot the wad’, only to have the message fade due to short attention span among the electorate , yunno.

7. Right, let's get after the sick f pronto

[Think. Again.]

3. Good...

Let's start the ball rolling on a hard, fast, and never-ending barrage of common sense on ALL media platforms.

Ignore trump's weird-ass blabber and just keep pounding down the truth to drown him out.

4. Good. Give no rest to the wicked.

8. Timing Matters So...

...this should be good, but I urge President Biden's team to use the Deadbeat Republicon's own words against him.

The Deadbeat contradicts himself every day, and promotes violence, racism and misogyny.

Use his words, and words of other vile Republicons.

9. "...consider whether to brand him as a "convicted felon,"

Oh, he'll be branded all right!
