The attack suffered by Donald Trump should bring new challenges for the Democrats in the American electoral race, according to the analyst of CNN Fernanda Magnotta. The expert believes that President Joe Biden’s party will be “held hostage” by a heroic narrative that Trump will likely adopt during the campaign.
Magnotta highlights three main fronts that should be observed after the incident:
First, the Republican campaign has already begun to build a narrative around Trump as a ‘hero’ who put himself on the line for America, even going so far as to invoke religious elements.
On the Democratic side, the analyst predicts a “great paralysis” and difficulty in reorienting the strategy. The party has already pulled some scheduled television ads that attacked Trump, fearing a negative effect at this time of commotion.
“The Democrats will be left a little orphaned about what to say about Trump, after all, they were already being put in a difficult situation with the need to prove Joe Biden’s ability and conditions and now they will find themselves hostage to the fact that their opponent assumes this characteristic seen as heroic”, explains Magnotta.
Finally, the expert emphasizes the importance of observing how the episode will resonate among voters. There is a possibility that the attack will cause commotion and attract more support for Trump, but there may also be a mobilization on the Democratic side in response.
Magnotta points out that, historically, presidents who have been attacked during their campaigns tend to emerge stronger. However, she considers that the current context is very particular and the result could be different.
“It is very important that we pay attention at this moment to how the narratives will be produced,” concludes the analyst, highlighting Trump’s ability to tell stories and define the electoral agenda. According to her, the former president will now have even more space to be the protagonist of this narrative.
