After months of saying politics had nothing to do with this trial, they showed up and made a campaign event of a lower Manhattan trial day for President Trump,\u201d said Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller, who argued Biden made the public relations change because he\u2019s losing in the polls. \u201cPresident Trump\u2019s numbers continue to rise and the best that Biden can do is roll out a washed up actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday marks the beginning of the closing arguments of the trial against Trump after more than four weeks and nearly two dozen witnesses testified before the jury.
