evidence: Harris swiftly interrupted rallygoers, saying "hold on, hold on," and went on to declare that her campaign with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was "not just a fight against Donald Trump," but a "fight for the future." The chants broke out again, when Walz told the crowd "violent crime was up under Donald Trump — and that’s not even counting the crimes he committed." Walz then began to talk over the crowd and motioned with his hands to quiet down. [...] Yet Democrats have also approached Trump’s criminal cases with caution, wanting to remind voters of his conviction while also avoiding politicizing his legal cases. The former president has leaned into his court cases by portraying himself as the victim of a weaponized judicial system and has claimed without evidence that the cases against him are coordinated with the White House. A special counsel acting independently of the White House brought the two federal cases against Trump. Local authorities brought two of the cases against him with no evidence they coordinated.
