TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - Following former president Donald Trump’s guilty verdict, his campaign raised $34.8 million in just the first seven hours after the verdict came down.
Political analysts seem divided about whether or not political candidates who support and align themselves with Trump will benefit from his increased popularity.
One analyst says this support will solely be for Trump, but another believes it could affect every aspect of the election, down to the state legislature.
“You’re really at the whim of the wave or whatever is happening at the top of the ticket. So I view the legislative races as even more impacted than the senate and the congressional races,” said Jason Rose, an Arizona political consultant.
In a press release, Trump’s senior campaign advisors said that 30% of the donors were new.
Which is something that Republican political consultant Sean Noble touched on.
“There are lots of people who have not voted for Trump in the past, republicans who have not voted for Trump in the past. You’re now saying I’m voting for Trump.”
However, Noble believes some people will vote only for the former president and no other races.
“Trump is so singularly the issue for these people and the trial that he just went through that there will be people who go and vote for Trump and don’t vote for anybody else because they’re literally just going to vote for Trump,” Noble said.
Rose, however, seems confident that if Trump maintains his position, he can help some of the Republican candidates running for office in Arizona.
“It’s not only the congressional races that will benefit if he maintains his standing with that increased funding,” Rose said. “It’s the very close race for the statehouse too because the statehouse race has even less money to affect the outcome.”
Rose mentioned that despite that “base enthusiasm,” there hasn’t been movement in the polls.
According to Real Clear Politics polling averages, he said that the former president has about a five-point spread in Arizona.
That’s compared to 2020, when he was down eight and four points in 2016.
