According to a new report, the president told aides that attacks on both figures resonate with American voters.
President Donald Trump plans to make House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Hunter Biden central to his 2020 re-election campaign, according to a news report citing unnamed administration officials.
Trump has suggested to aides that both Pelosi and Biden resonate with voters and will help him secure a second term in the White House, according to. The paper cited unnamed White House aides who said that polling and rallies have convinced the president that"relentlessly attacking" Pelosi should be central to his re-election strategy. The aides also said that the president has"shown flashes of anger" when talking about the speaker, the paper noted.
As speaker, Pelosi—who has long been unpopular among Republican voters—was one of the Democratic lawmakers leading the impeachment push against the president. Pelosi and the president have had a fractious relationship since Trump took office, including multiple public arguments. At the end of Trump's State of the Union address earlier this week, PelosiTrump also plans to double down on attacking Hunter Biden—the son of possible 2020 candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Trump was impeached after allegedly trying to extort the Ukrainian government into announcing an investigation of the Bidens over debunked corruption accusations. But Trump was acquitted by the GOP-majority Senate this week. The White House celebrated the result as a"full vindication and exoneration" of the president, but Democrats have maintained their criticism of Trump and his allies.
