The Manhattan district attorney’s office has contacted Donald Trump’s lawyers to arrange his surrender following his indictment on criminal charges, a spokesperson said. | Reuters
The prosecution of a former president is unprecedented in US history. But his supporters view it as politically motivated, and it may only harden their resolve to back him in the 2024 Republican primary, rank-and-file Republican voters, party officials and political analysts told Reuters.
John Feehery, a Republican strategist, described the Manhattan case as “silly” compared to the other probes hanging over Trump’s campaign. Those include a special counsel investigating allegations he sought to overturn the 2020 election results, and prosecutors in Georgia examining his efforts to reverse his loss in the battleground state.
Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, said some Republicans could be swayed by the charges to back Florida Governor Ron DeSantis or another potential candidate without Trump’s legal baggage, which has grown considerably since he left the White House in 2021.“It’s not good for Trump, the question is how bad for Trump it is,” said Sabato. “There could be multiple indictments … it begins to add up to a major problem.
