Republican pollster Frank Luntz is issuing a warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James (D).
During an appearance on CNN, Luntz warned James against seizing properties of former President Donald Trumpafter he said he could not pay the $454 million civil fraud judgment.
āI want you to remember this moment, and donāt forget it. If the New York attorney aeneral starts to take his homes away, starts to seize his assets, itās all going to be on camera,ā the pollster said.
He continued:
āPundits are going to sit there and scream about this, āThis man cannot be elected.ā Youāre going to create the greatest victimhood of 2024, and youāre going to elect Donald Trump.ā

Luntz elaborated, āIf they take his stuff, heās going to say that this is proof that the federal government and the establishment in the swamp in Washington, and all the politicians across the country and the attorneys generals and all of this, that this is a conspiracy to deny him the presidency.ā
āHeās going to go up in the polls just like he went up every single time they indicted him. The indictment, and letās not talk about whether itās justified or not, but it will prove the things that heās saying on the campaign trail, and he will go up, and it may just elect him president. Do not forget that,ā he argued.
Luntz offered a strong message to James as he said, āAnd I say this to the attorney general right now, if you play Politics on this, this is what the secretaries of state did in Colorado, and what they did in, I believe in Maine, his numbers went up in both states. I donāt understand. Iām almost speechless in how pathetic the opposition to Trump has been and how completely misguided. And this is a perfect example of it.ā
When another panel member noted it was true Trumpās poll numbers improved after he was indicted during the primary, the question was posed if the same scenario would occur in the general election.
āHow is Donald Trump beating Joe Biden? Heās got 85 indictments that still exist. Felonies. How is he beating Joe Biden? With the economy getting better and things cleaning up? Okay, we inflation. You still got immigration. Trump is leading. And in the seven swing states, Trump is up by the margin of error in five out of seven,ā the pollster noted.
He added, āWhy is that happening? Because his critics are stupid and theyāre running a horrible campaign. And for those people who do not want Donald Trump back, they should be thankful that the people who are orchestrating his loss are as pathetic and they donāt understand the American people.ā
