Contributing sentiments towards policy:
50% : If Trump went to trial, they continued, it "would be one of the most divisive events in the history of our republic.44% : Trump did go to trial (in a separate case), and Americans' trust in the judiciary sank further.
43% : "If we do not want to go through an endless cycle of what goes around comes around," they wrote, "a bold act of statesmanship is required: Biden should announce that he is issuing a blanket pardon for Trump, allowing him to start his presidency with a legal tabula rasa.
38% : Marc Thiessen, the conservative Washington Post columnist, and Danielle Pletka, a distinguished senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, first made the case in June 2023, days after Trump was served his first indictment.
36% : Jack Smith, the special counsel overseeing that investigation, plans to step down before Trump can fire him.
35% : Allowing the charges to pile up against Trump, the two argued, would further delegitimize the Justice Department in the eyes of millions of Trump's followers.
35% : "It's true that Biden offering a pardon for Trump could be framed as outreach to the president-elect's followers.
34% : And since Trump won the election, the former president won't be tried, after all.
33% : Trump has yet to be sentenced, though, nor has he stood trial for his other indictments, after the Supreme Court offered partial immunity to presidents.
26% : He ran as a bridge beyond Trump, then handicapped his party's efforts to defeat Trump by staying in the race.
23% : It's likely Trump will never be held responsible for his alleged or convicted crimes.
23% : A pardon of Trump would further complicate it.
15% : Are there reciprocal steps that would bring the MAGA movement away from the edge and toward a more united country?" Biden has said he would not pardon Trump.
11% : When Trump takes office, Biden suggested, his son could be the subject of a "miscarriage of justice." Pardoning Trump, Sen. Joe Manchin argued this week, could put an end to it all.
6% : On CNN, ex-Nixon White House counsel John Dean suggested Biden should strategically pair a pardon of Trump with pardons for his allies that may be targeted by Trump.
