The politically-driven Trump trial in Manhattan and subsequent guilty verdicts have resulted in a bit of backfire for the Democrats. Sure, there are still five months until the November election and anything could happen, but things currently aren't trending Biden's way.
First, when it comes to fundraising, Team Trump's raking it in now and Alvin Bragg should be named the campaign's fundraiser of the week:
The Donald Trump campaign has raised a staggering $200 million since the former president was found guilty of 34 felonies last Thursday, his son Eric Trump said Sunday.
Eric, who is married to The Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Lara Trump, said she told him the figure was comprised of over $70 million in small donor fundraising in the three days since his father was found guilty of 34 felonies related to falsifying business records.
Second, the Democrats were hoping the fact that they can now refer to Trump as a "convicted felon" would cost Biden's opponent a lot of support, and so far that's not happening. If anything the opposite is true:

Those numbers in Minnesota, New Hampshire and Michigan are the only ones the Biden campaign will find encouraging.
Maybe the Left will conclude that one more Trump conviction and/or indictment will turn things around.
Post conviction polling.

The polls numbers are looking good for Trump. https://t.co/bdcTTyXRQw
The whole label of convicted felon is about as impactful as twice-impeached. https://t.co/qEGbqbDGTw
