The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
This appeal being heard will lead to a delay that's a victory in itself for Trump. But the former president should ultimately prevail based on the preponderance of evidence that Willis — who should've been removed from this case immediately after her relationship with Wade was revealed — lied about her relationship and its impact on prosecuting this case.
Anti-Trump narrative
The delay is indeed a victory for Trump, but it's not a victory for the country or the justice system. While the former president continues to duck accountability for his criminal actions, conservative-leaning judges and courts are doing his bidding by pushing the proceedings past Election Day and to a time when a victorious Trump can better avoid facing the music.
