Donald Trump Found Guilty in New York Hush Money Trial

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss today’s historic courtroom decision in the New York Hush Money trial where former President Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first-degree. This makes him the first American president ever to become a convicted felon. They also talk about a new NPR/PBS/Marist poll taken before the decision that shows voters’ attitudes toward a Trump conviction in the New York Hush Money case. Then, they discuss whether the Trump conviction affects the GOP Vice Presidential race. They also talk about Nikki Haley’s decision to write “Finish Them” on Israeli artillery shells during her trip to Israel over Memorial Day, Senator Fetterman’s commencement address to Yeshiva University graduates, and the Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's support for pro-Palestine protesters on U.S. college campuses telling them in a post on X that they were "on the right side of history." Next, Carl Cannon talks to Elaine Kamarck of the Brookings Institution about the gender gap in today’s politics and whether women will make the difference in this fall’s election. And finally, Tom Bevan talks to RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende about the current state of the presidential polls and Trump’s chances for victory in November.
