How Biden’s campaign plans to pummel Trump on abortion

(Good strategy assholes, let’s see what Trump pummels Bidan on.Their slogan is “Restore Roe”, no way the SC will do that, but that’s their sloganThese people cannot live without child sacrifice.)

The reelect is going to spend the next half year publicizing the testimonials of those affected by harsh new state abortion laws.

Joe Biden’s campaign plans to hammer Donald Trump for his role in erasing abortion rights largely by enlisting ordinary American women who have suffered from restrictions on the procedure, elevating their voices in place of the president’s own.

This approach was immediately on display this week in a Biden campaign video featuring the story of a Texas woman released after Trump announced he would defer to state-level abortion laws, some of which impose draconian limits on women and physicians. Biden himself made no appearance in the ad, except to deliver a standard campaign finance disclosure line.

The strategy represents a kind of concession thatBiden, with a complicated history on the issue and a reluctance to even say the word abortion, may not be the most resonant messengeron the issue for many voters, and that spotlighting regular people has the potential to reach those who may not start out sympathetic to the president’s campaign.

“It’s less important for Biden to be the messenger on this, and more important for our folks who can talk personally about the impact this has already had in their lives,” said Amanda Litman, co-founder of the Democratic political group Run for Something. “This is not abstract for them. That is more compelling than anything Biden can say or do.”

The focus on first-person storytelling is inspired in part by recent down-ballot successes in states like Ohio and in Kentucky, where Gov. Andy Beshear last fall won a difficult reelection campaign in a conservative state by tying his Republican challenger to conservative policies on reproductive health.

Biden advisers took particular note of an ad Beshear ran in the closing stages of his campaign featuring the testimonial of a woman, Hadley Duvall, who had been raped and impregnated by her stepfather when she was a child, and who would have been forced to carry the pregnancy to term under policies favored by Kentucky Republicans, including Beshear’s opponent.

Eric Hyers, a Democratic strategist who managed the Beshear campaign, said Duvall’s message had echoed across Kentucky, including in constituencies that do not ordinarily lean to the left.

“The voters who moved the most when hearing messages like Hadley’s were the opposite of the voters you might think,” Hyers said. “It was rural voters, male voters, older voters, Republican voters, non-college educated voters.”

In other words — the kinds of voters who Biden, and Democrats broadly, struggle with the most…

CNN gets triggered for the telling the truth, KEK

RNC under Lara Trump spreads ‘massive fraud’ claims about 2020 election

By Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck, CNN

Updated 10:09 PM EDT, Wed April 10, 2024

The Republican National Committee last week sent out a scripted call to voters’ phones on behalf of new co-chair Lara Trump saying Democrats committed “massive fraud” in the 2020 election.

It’s the latest example of how the RNC under the former president’s daughter-in-law is perpetuating lies about the 2020 election, even as prominent Republicans say the party needs to look forward to win in 2024.

“We all know the problems. No photo IDs, unsecured ballot drop boxes, mass mailing of ballots, and voter rolls chock full of deceased people and non-citizens are just a few examples of the massive fraud that took place,” the RNC call said. “If Democrats have their way, your vote could be canceled out by someone who isn’t even an American citizen.”

The claim of “massive fraud” in the 2020 election marks a significant shift in messaging for the RNC because lies about the 2020 election had not been a consistent theme in its messaging since Donald Trump left office.

But the call’s message is largely consistent with the views publicly espoused over the past four years by Lara Trump, who was elected as co-chair in early March as part of Donald Trump’s takeover of the GOP. Lara Trump has a long history of echoing his election fraud claims, according to a CNN KFile analysis of her past statements as a commentator and surrogate for the former president.

“I’m sure you agree with co-chair Trump that we cannot allow the chaos and questions of the 2020 election to ever happen again,” said the call, which was obtained by CNN’s KFile from the anti-robocall application Nomorobo, which estimated 145,000 calls were sent with the message from April 1-7.

It comes amid previous CNN reporting about the RNC asking employees who are reapplying for their jobs whether they believe the 2020 election was stolen in an apparent litmus test for hiring. The RNC denied any such litmus test existed. Lara Trump and new chair Michael Whatley succeeded Drew McKissick and Ronna McDaniel, who had earned the ire of the former president because of his dissatisfaction with how the RNC handled claims of fraud around the 2020 election, CNN previously reported.

There is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, as even some state GOP election officials and former Trump Attorney General William Barr have acknowledged. The former president and his supporters filed more than 60 court cases in six key battleground states following the election and lost every one of them. And, they have still not brought forth any evidence of the rampant cheating they continue to talk about on the campaign trail.

But in the years since the 2020 election, Lara Trump has continued to push claims of fraud. Her comments have been in line with those of her father-in-law, who’s successfully reshaped the GOP in his image and easily secured his third-straight GOP nomination this year.

Polling, for example, shows that a majority of GOP voters think the 2020 election result was illegitimate. A CNN poll released last September found that 71% of Republicans said President Joe Biden’s “did not legitimately win enough votes to win the presidency.”

From November 2020 to February 2024, Lara Trump propagated the narrative of Democratic cheating in the 2020 presidential election. And even after she was elected co-chair and said claims of a stolen election are “in the past,” she didn’t repudiate those baseless accusations.

“Well, I think we’re past that. I think that’s in the past. We learned a lot. Certainly, we took a lot of notes,” Trump said in an NBC interview when asked whether claims of a stolen 2020 election would be the official position of the RNC in 2024. She went on to tout lawsuits across 23 states “to ensure that it is harder to cheat and easier to vote,” while raising questions about pandemic-era voting procedures during the 2020 election.

A long history of spreading election lies

As recently as February 2024, Lara Trump said she did not believe Biden received 81 million votes in the 2020 election. “Does anyone actually believe that in 2020, 81 million people were so inspired by a guy who could only get 10 people (to attended events) …that he had the most massive turnout in the history of elections?” she said at a Trump event in South Carolina just days before she announced her campaign for RNC co-chair. “No, we don’t believe that.”

In the same interview, Trump also added the GOP needed to “trust mail-in voting.” Neither the RNC nor Lara Trump responded to multiple requests for comment.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis privately tells donors he plans to fundraise for TrumpDeSantis made his comments in remarks to allies at a private donor retreat last weekend.

April 10, 2024, 11:47 AM EDT By Matt Dixon and Brian Schwartz, CNBC

(I would never trust this guy, this is my theory.I bet his billionaire Mega Donors told DeSantis, that they are giving to Trump and DeSadist asked them to say that “it was his idea”. So he can get back in with Trump, so he gets appointed a position in the Admin. He’s already shown what a traitor and backstabber he is.Almost guaranteed he didn’t do this on his own.His vicious hatred of Trump will not be forgotten. And DeSadist was staying in the race in case Trump went to jail on a court case. I know PDJT is not going to trust him.)

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told donors and supporters at a private retreat last weekend that he plans to help raise money for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, according to three sources familiar with the matter. (Name the sources, otherwise they don’t exist)

DeSantis told his allies about the move to help Trump during a private gathering Saturday at South Florida’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, these people said. “He did say it in front of a group of people at the Hard Rock,” a DeSantis adviser told NBC News.

The person emphasized that DeSantis had pledged to support Republicans up and down the ballot — “including presidential” — when he dropped his bid for president in January. DeSantis’ remarks come after he was effectively in a political war with Trump, both before and since the governor dropped out of the presidential primary race.It remains unclear if Trump and his team want DeSantis to help them, or have him as an ally, even though the governor did endorse Trump in January.

Many of the bundlers who heard from DeSantis at the Hard Rock will likely follow his lead and start trying to raise money for the former president, according to a fundraiser who was at the event. “I would say the majority in the room would now be willing to help Trump,” aDeSantis bundlerwho was at the recent meeting said. (WTF are they taking orders from them, and spending time with him, these bundlers are leaches and drop the candidate when they go broke.)

Texasbusinessman Roy Bailey, who was a co-chair of DeSantis’ national finance advisory board, said in an interview Wednesday that he’s planning to help raise money for Trump, as he did in 2020. “I will follow the governor’s lead and I will do anything that he or President Trump ask me to do to help him win this election,” Bailey said. (See, “I will follow the governors lead”, no fucking way a guy that donated to Trump before would need to be lead by DeSadist.Yeah, he asked them all to tell Trump he was responsible for getting him donors.)

“I know where there are DeSantis supporters all over Texas and all over the country that will want to help President Trump. So that’s what I’ll try to make happen,” he added. (Who believes this shit, the donors to DeSadist mostly hated and wanted to destroy Trump)

A Trump campaign adviser said they were not aware that DeSantis was going to start raising money from them but added that “everyone should be working towards defeating Joe Biden and electing President Trump.” DeSantis’ donor retreat happened on the same day as Trump’s biggest fundraiser of the cycle, which his campaign said raised $50.5 million.

The two men were longtime political allies after Trump’s endorsement helped DeSantis become governor in 2018. As it became clear DeSantis was considering running against Trump in 2024, the relationship publicly soured, and toward the end of DeSantis’ campaign, both sides regularly trashed each other.

Shortly after DeSantis dropped out of the race, Susie Wiles, his former political adviser turned Trump’s campaign chief, posted a quip at the governor on social media: “Bye, bye.” DeSantis fired Wiles after she helped run his first gubernatorial campaign, adding a layer of personal rivalry to the feud.

In February,DeSantis shared his concernswith supporters about Trump, noting that he believed the former presidentshould not play “identity politics” when picking a 2024 running mate. Trump’s campaign subsequently ripped DeSantis. (DeSadist did that during his entire campaign against Trump)

Still, for Trump, getting DeSantis’ help could be a benefit as the former president has been behind President Joe Biden in fundraising. DeSantis’ finance committee is full of fundraisers with massive networks that could help raise money for Trump.

Emil Henry, the CEO of Tiger Infrastructure Partners, was a member of DeSantis’ national finance board. Others on the finance committee included Republican donors John Childs, Jay Zeidman and Bob Giuffra.
