An anonymous New York Republican campaign strategist tells Politico they would love for GOP candidates to be using NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ criminal indictments for bribery and other comically inept scams as part of a message to make all Democrats look corrupt and insane buuuuuuut… “Once you start getting to the charges against him and whether they disqualify him for office, the next logical question would be whether Trump should leave the race because of his charges.”
An anonymous House Dem campaign aide said yeah, no shit. The actual quote however was “If this was a winning message, then you’d see the swing-seat Republicans actually making this a thing. They’re not, because they know they’re all supporting a convicted felon for the presidency Republicans are on the ballot with Trump. Democrats aren’t on the ballot with Adams.”
