In a recent segment on CNN, Sara Murray sounded a cautionary note for the left, suggesting that President Trump could be acquitted in his New York trial.
She labeled this potential outcome as the “worst case scenario” for Democrats and raised questions about its implications.
Murray’s comments have prompted speculation about whether she was trying to prepare the Democratic base for a possible disappointment in the event of Trump’s acquittal.
By framing it as the “worst case scenario,” she may have been aiming to mitigate the potential impact of such an outcome and help manage expectations among Democrats.
The crux of Murray’s analysis centers on the significance of this trial in relation to Trump’s legal challenges.
She highlights the fact that if this case were to collapse, it would likely represent the only legal action against Trump before the upcoming election.

CNN reporter warns potential Trump acquittal in New York trial is ‘worst-case scenario for Democrats’
A jury acquitting former President Trump in his criminal trial this week in New York would be the “worst-case scenario” for Democrats, a CNN reporter warned on Sunday.
“I think that it’s very likely this is the only trial that we are going to get before Election Day. And this case is not a slam dunk, which means that Donald Trump may very well not be convicted. Acquitted is the worst-case scenario for Democrats,” CNN political correspondent Sara Murray said.
The jury will hear closing arguments on Tuesday in the criminal trial where Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree…
“Donald Trump gets to go out there and say, ‘Joe Biden’s prosecutors,’ which, again, not true, ‘came after me, his Department of Justice came after me, and they still didn’t convict me. I’m still innocent,’” Murray continued. “I also think you could end up somewhere in this sort of muddy middle where you end up with a hung jury, a jury that cannot reach a verdict. And then this truly does just get kicked to the voters to decide.”
