(FeaturedNews.com) – Alyssa Farah Griffin, a co-host on “The View” and former aide to President Trump, recently voiced her opinion that Trump has a better grasp on connecting with middle America compared to President Biden. This commentary comes as both presidential figures are set to engage in contrasting activities in New York City on Thursday.
Trump plans to be present at the memorial service for the deceased NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, tragically killed during a routine traffic check by a repeat offender. On the other hand, President Biden is scheduled to lead a high-profile fundraising gala at Radio City Music Hall, an event boasting attendance from ex-presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, alongside numerous celebrity figures.
During her CNN appearance on Thursday morning, Farah Griffin addressed the contrasting nature of these events, suggesting that Trump’s attendance at the officer’s wake could appeal more to the general American electorate. She portrayed Trump as seizing the narrative, positioning himself as empathetic to the tragedy of a fallen officer, in stark contrast to the elite fundraising event in New York.
Farah Griffin highlighted that Trump’s choice to be at the officer’s wake might also divert attention from his legal challenges, notably his hearing in Georgia regarding electoral interference. She praised Trump’s evolving political strategy, indicating that his actions might be well-calculated to align with the concerns of middle America, reflecting a tactic from his 2016 campaign playbook.
She emphasized that Trump seems to resonate with the values and concerns of middle America, particularly in highlighting the injustice surrounding the death of Officer Diller, who was a young father, and the criminal background of his assailant.
A spokesperson for Trump, responding to his attendance at Officer Diller’s wake, expressed the former president’s empathy and honor in standing with the NYPD and the bereaved family during this difficult time, as per a statement in The New York Post.
Conversely, Biden’s fundraiser is set to be a lavish affair with political discussions led by Stephen Colbert and performances by high-profile artists like Lizzo and Queen Latifah, marking a significant contrast in the day’s events for the two political figures.
