Former U.S. President Donald Trump appeared in court for his hush money trial in New York City as public opinion on his presidency sees a significant shift, posing challenges for current President Joe Biden.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump attended his hush money trial in New York City on May 13, 2024. This trial is part of various legal battles Trump is involved in, including his efforts to return to the White House. Public opinion on Trump’s presidency has shifted, with a recent CNN poll in April showing 55% of Americans now view his presidency as successful, an increase from 41% when he left office. This sentiment poses challenges for current President Joe Biden, whose approval ratings remain historically low. Biden’s campaign has intensified its efforts by releasing targeted ads contrasting his record with Trump’s, focusing on health care and social issues.
