Analysts: Trump’s momentum remains strong despite latest indictment.

Republicans Say Trump’s 2024 Momentum Remains Strong Despite Indictments

Republicans and consultants‌ are confident that former‍ President Donald Trump’s momentum for ‌a 2024 presidential run is not waning, ⁤despite facing⁢ four separate indictments.​ The recent indictment by the district attorney’s office in Fulton County, Georgia, charging Trump and 18 ⁣others with ⁢various offenses related to his post-2020 election actions, has not dampened his support.

Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott ‌Walker,⁣ who previously ran against Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, expressed skepticism about the political consequences of⁢ the‌ indictments. He ‌believes that Trump has successfully positioned himself as ‍a target⁣ of the establishment, which resonates with voters who‌ feel let down by ⁤politicians. Walker‍ suggests that Trump’s defiance against the left may actually strengthen his appeal to the average American.

Trump ⁣ally and former House Speaker Newt ⁢Gingrich condemned⁤ the Fulton County‌ charges as “disgusting” and predicted ⁢that they​ would enrage the country, ultimately boosting Trump’s chances in the general election against a Democratic opponent.

While some analysts have‌ raised concerns about the legal challenges Trump faces, GOP primary voters seem unfazed. Recent polling shows that Trump maintains 55 percent support among Republican primary voters, with‍ no other candidate making significant headway.

Republican strategists Brian Seitchik and Saul Anuzis both ⁤agree that the indictments are ‍unlikely to sway primary voters. Seitchik‍ argues that only a significant breach ‌in Trump’s “Teflon armor” could shake his support, such as losing in ‍key early⁢ primary states. ‍Anuzis suggests that most‌ voters ⁣have already made up their ⁤minds and view the indictments as politically motivated.

Despite facing multiple investigations and⁤ indictments this year, ⁢including allegations of campaign finance violations and mishandling of classified materials, Trump’s support remains steadfast. The latest indictment stems⁣ from a reported call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad ​Raffensperger regarding the 2020 election results.

Overall, Republicans believe that the​ indictments lack merit and are part of‌ a politically motivated witch⁢ hunt. They view​ Trump as⁢ a ‍victim ​of unfair persecution and continue to rally behind​ him as a strong contender for‍ the 2024 presidential race.
