'It's going to be harmful': Republicans weaponize Trump team attacks on Biden

The Senate impeachment trial isn’t exactly good press for President Donald Trump. But Senate Republicans says it’s also hurting former Vice President and 2020 hopeful Joe Biden.

The second day of the impeachment trial took a sharp turn, when Trump attorneys Pam Bondi and Eric Herschmann spent a significant portion of their time on the Senate floor arguing that Biden should be investigated for corruption.

Bondi primarily focused on Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his role on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma while his father was vice president and in charge of Ukraine matters. Trump's team has presented no evidence that Biden used his role as vice president to benefit his son nor alleged anything improper other than the "appearance of a conflict."

But Senate Republicans used the concerted attack on Biden to raise questions about his political viability.

One pretty much expects this from the Repugs. What I don't want to see is any Democrat repeating their bullshit.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

The not true attacks by Republicans on Biden do not appear to have cost him any votes.

their small and ridiculous attacks on Biden will help Biden.

The American public is well aware that the Biden-stuff is all Russian propaganda.

Trump will say the DNC screwed Bernie again and he'll run to the left of Biden (like he did with Hillary) on a # of issues. Total lies of course, but it does work with many.
