first time in american history a former president is a convicted felon. now he s running again. he s not only obsessed with losing 2020 he s clearly been and i mean this sincerely a little unhinged. so far president biden has only said the f-word, felon, in private. early polls may change that strategy. a majority of americans iptrump s case believe they made the right call. 54% of independent voters believe the prosecution upheld the rule of law and 10% of registered american voters say they re less likely to vote for trump following his conviction. back with senator claire mccaskill and joined by martin from politico. let me ask you what you see to be the trepidation around the
