Sarah Bedford suggests that Donald Trump’s legal challenges are renewing interest in him and reversing the ‘Trump fatigue’ phenomenon

The Washington Examiner’s Sarah Bedford noted that former President Donald Trump’s legal battles are “energizing Republican voters” who may have started to “get Trump fatigue.”

“The only constituency that’s celebrating the Trump lawfare is the far Left, that relatively small contingent of strong Democratic voters,” Bedford said while appearing on Your World with Neil Cavuto Monday. 

“But what this is doing is a couple of things,” she continued. “It’s energizing Republican voters, people who might have, at this point, year nine of the Trump show but were starting to get Trump fatigue, but are now excited to get out on Election Day and vote for him.”

Bedford also suggested that the various indictments and trials facing the former president are hurting President Joe Biden’s 2024 chances.

“It’s also reinforcing doubts among independent voters about the Biden administration,” Bedford said. “If really all Joe Biden has to offer and talk about in this election is how bad Donald Trump is, how he’s a really bad guy, he belongs in jail. Then, they’re worried that there isn’t an alternative for them other than Trump. It’s really hurting Joe Biden from both sides here.”

Bedford’s comments follow a New York appeals court decision on Monday to reduce Trump’s civil fraud judgment from $464 million to $175 million. Trump was also granted a 10-day delay to pay the reduced bond.

Also on Monday, Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump’s request to dismiss his hush money case and declined to delay the trial any further than the roughly three-week delay already in place.

The trial will begin on April 15 with jury selection and take place at the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan. It is expected to last several weeks, and Trump will be required to be present every day that court is in session.
