New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd said this weekend that her sister is backing former President Trump’s reelection bid following the guilty verdict in the New York hush money criminal trial.
In a column published Saturday, Dowd said after the guilty verdict, she called her brother and her sister — both of whom, she said, are Republicans who had hoped for a Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley victory — to gauge whether Trump’s conviction had been a final straw for them.
Dowd said she was surprised to hear that her sister was swayed in the other direction.
“I wasn’t going to vote for Trump,” Maureen Dowd’s sister, Peggy, told her, according to Dowd’s column. “But now I am because I thought this whole thing was a sham.”

Apparently her sister is smarter than she is.
I’m just waiting for the Catherine Zeta-Jones pics.
Welcome aboard, Peggy Dowd. But it really took you this long to figure out what’s on the line this November?
I think a lot of people feel like her relatives.
The entire world knows it was a fake trial and conviction and are sick of it. Put him in jail and he may win all 50 states Joe.
“I think a lot of people feel like her relatives.”
I’m in the blue part of Ohio. I don’t get a sense that Biden is losing support here.
Donald J. Trump doesn't have any "peers." He is one of a kind.
Me too.

She is an old school liberal who may not be so fond of the current strain of liberal corruption and insanity.
Peggy Dowd? Can’t any of the Dowd girls find husbands?
Peggy Noonan. She is a speechwriter and is the author of the line “the soft bigotry of low expectations”.
That had to really hurt for her to hear it and must have incredible impact if she is willing to publically write about it. Maybe her way to carefully say that Biden is screwed. Will Dowd reconsider voting for Trump?
RE: Peggy Noonan. She is a speechwriter and is the author of the line “the soft bigotry of low expectations”.
Did she write that just before the invention of Viagara and Cialis?
Noonan is Dowd’s sister? Holy!
Isn’t she the one who came up with “tear down this wall”?
Well, she is correct. It was indeed a sham.
“I’ll bet Maureen Dowd is going to vote for Trump as well.
She is an old school liberal who may not be so fond of the current strain of liberal corruption and insanity.”
I agree with you. She is using her sister to promote the idea.
No, not sisters according to a quick google search.
