Elections aren’t won or lost some 20 months out. But the 2020 presidential campaign was reset over the weekend—on terrain that appears far more favorable to Pres. Trump, rickklein writes.
Trump is wrong to claim that Mueller’s report was a “complete and total exoneration.” The report has not yet been made public, and Attorney General William Barr quotes Mueller as stating it “does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
The four short pages transmitted by Barr to congressional leaders Sunday afternoon will force Democratic presidential candidates to recalibrate their messaging. It sets up further tensions with a frustrated base of voters that badly wants Trump out of office, and the many who will continue to ask legitimate questions about the president’s conduct.
Former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke arrives for a campaign stop at a restaurant in Manchester, N.H., March 21, 2019. To build on O’Rourke’s metaphor, the shadows that have blanketed the Trump presidency haven’t entirely faded to sunlight. Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York continue to pursue investigations that touch Trump’s business activities, up to and including potential campaign finance violations where former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen implicated the president himself.
