A majority of Republicans do not believe the indictments against former President Donald Trump will affect his ability to be elected in 2024, according to a new CNN poll.
Fifty-six percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they aren’t seriously concerned about the effect the charges will have next year if he becomes the GOP nominee. The former president has been indicted in four different cases this year, two local and two federal, that deal chiefly with his handling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
A larger portion of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents indicated that even if the charges are true, they are not relevant to his ability to serve as president. Seventy percent dismissed the charges related to alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, a porn star, as irrelevant. As for the charges over classified documents, the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, 64% said they weren’t relevant.
