Trump victory should be death knell for Democrats' lawfare

Correspondent Kevin Corke reports the latest on the Fox News Voter Analysis from the 2024 race. The 'Fox & Friends' co-hosts react to the former president's gains with minority and younger voters as he is named the projected election winner.

Will Democrats learn the lawfare lesson? We’ll soon find out.

One week after President Trump’s smashing victory, there is slated to be action in a New York State court, where the president-elect must still deal with 34 felony business-records charges on which a Manhattan jury found him guilty this spring. Judge Juan Merchan is expected to rule on Trump’s motion to vacate the guilty verdicts. Team Trump argues that, under the Supreme Court’s July 1 ruling that former presidents have presumptive immunity from prosecution for official acts, the case must be thrown because District Attorney Alvin Bragg recklessly chose include official-acts evidence in the prosecution.

Judge Juan Merchan, an activist Democrat, has ruled against Trump with numbing regularity throughout the proceedings. Past being prologue, we should expect Merchan to deny Trump’s immunity claim. Then things get interesting.

Merchan anticipates not only issuing his immunity ruling on November 12 but imposing sentence on the president-elect on November 26. And although the case is absurd – alleging that Trump falsified his business records to conceal a legal non-disclosure agreement – the judge indulged the DA’s farcical contention to the jury that Trump had conspired to steal the 2016 election. That ratchets........
