Former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles don’t appear to be benefiting him in the general election. Polls show that while Trump was behind Joe Biden during the Republican primary, their race is now essentially tied. It seems that Americans are not happy with Trump’s actions, as a significant portion believe he did something wrong in relation to the New York hush money case. The public opinion is divided, with some believing he acted unethically but not illegally. Trump’s fundraising has been boosted by his legal troubles, but he is also spending a substantial amount on legal fees. Ultimately, his tied position with Biden may not be enough of an advantage.
