Maggie Haberman Says Trump Is Aware of 2020 Debate Misstep That ‘Humanized President Biden’

EXCERPT:

HABERMAN: “So, I‘ve heard conflicting things about this. I think that inevitably, when the question of Trump‘s criminal conviction comes up, there is a real chance Trump is then going to turn it around about Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden is the son of a president, but he is not running for president, and so that is just a different thing. But Trump‘s folks believe it is a way to get under President Biden‘s skin, and I don‘t think they would see it as a hands-off moment. Now, Trump is aware that his own attacks on Hunter Biden in that first debate in 2020 humanized President Biden, it basically gave President Biden an opportunity to say, 'My son is an addict and he had a struggle that a lot of Americans have,' and Trump came off looking incredibly mean and belittling to an issue that a lot of people struggle with. I don‘t know that we‘re there now. This is just a very different moment in time."
