Trump indictments and Biden family investigations could define rematch election
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel was more specific, referring to the federal investigation into Hunter Biden and congressional testimony from the younger Biden's former business partner Devon Archer, who himself has been convicted of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and securities fraud.
"They saw what happened last week with Hunter Biden going into court with a sweetheart deal that would have provided him immunity for prosecutions that hadn't even happened," McDaniel told Fox News Wednesday. "And then Devon Archer testifying this week that Biden was on 20 different phone calls with business partners of Hunter Biden. So, he absolutely lied to the American people."
Republicans would prefer for next year's election to be a referendum on Biden, according to Republican strategist Alex Conant.
"Given his low poll numbers, the incumbent president would face stiff headwinds," Conant said. "If it's a choice election between two unpopular candidates, it's a lot less predictable."
Biden has less than a percentage point advantage over Trump in national polls, per RealClearPolitics, 45% to 44%, as the former president leads the Republican primary field by 36 points with 54% of the vote, in contrast to Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) 18%.
