With Trump now facing criminal charges stemming from a $130,000 hush-money payment to an adult-film actress, the two Ohioans likely will be positioned to take on an even greater role in his public defense.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan had a one-word reaction to the indictment of former President Donald Trump: “Outrageous.”
“While the radical left continues their obsession with harassing Donald Trump, the American people are suffering,” he said. “Families are struggling to put food on the table, violent crime is running rampant in our cities, and thousands have been poisoned by the fentanyl pouring across our southern border.”
Vance, who represents all of Ohio in the Senate, must balance being a statesman, which he’s demonstrated in his bipartisan bill that aims to strengthen rail safety, with keeping the Ohio GOP base happy to ensure no one competitive challenges him if he runs for reelection. Cohen believes all Republicans running for Congress are going to have to publicly defend Trump if they want support from their party. Although there’s talk of other potential Republican presidential candidates, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence, Cohen believes Trump will ultimately be the GOP candidate in 2024.
. “He’s making a mockery of our legal system. The people of NYC deserve better and the American voters deserve better.”“The American people should see this indictment for what it truly is: A politically motivated prosecution by a DA who is pursuing Donald Trump for political reasons,”Niven, the University of Cincinnati professor, said Republicans may be jumping to conclusions before the evidence has been made public.
