If the duel for the White House will really be between Donald Trump and Kamala Harriswe will have it clash between a former prosecutor and a convict. Although the recent Supreme Court ruling (with three judges appointed by the tycoon) on the recognition of immunity for official acts is significantly improving his procedural position, It is a fact that Trump was convicted at the New York trial and surely a Harris candidate could use this against him..
“There is a clear difference between Harris, her background and what she represents, and someone who has been convicted of 34 indictments and still has multiple trials to go,” said Bakari Sellers, a Democrat from South Carolina and a supporter of the vice president.
In addition to the conviction last May for the affair related to the money paid for the silence of porn star Stormy Daniels, for which the sentence is still awaited, Trump still has three trials pending: the first for electoral interference in Georgia and the second, federal, for his role in the events that led to the assault on Congress.
A third federal case, the one about the papers taken from the White House, was annulled by a Florida judge – appointed by Trump – based on the Supreme Court ruling. But the special counsel has appealed this decision.
But There are many people close to Harris who are willing to bet that, if she is confirmed as a candidate for the White House, the 59-year-old Democrat will emphasize her role as “prosecutor in chief” against Trump during the brief campaign. “This is someone who can clearly and forcefully articulate the case against Trump,” says Jim Margolis, who advised Harris on her 2020 presidential campaign, “the prosecutor who in her, in a potential debate, could move the conversation to this point and attack, without the need for notes.”
