Chuck Todd warns on Meet the Press that campaigns focusing heavily on trials often lose, citing the 1998 Republican focus on the Bill Clinton impeachment as a failed strategy. He argues that voters had already factored Trump's moral failings into their decisions years ago. Todd suggests that if Joe Biden celebrates the verdict too much, he risks turning off middle-of-the-road voters.
