In a twist, some Trump voters said that while the indictments don’t bother them, they are increasingly concerned that Trump may not be able to win the general election. A Trump stronghold, unbothered by indictments, worries about winning:
Former President Donald Trump arrives at Reagan National Airport in Washington, en route to his arraignment in federal court on Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023.
Many acknowledged that they still admired the former president. But his failure to win a second term, combined with their deepening despair at the country’s direction under President Joe Biden, led them to a reckoning, they said. More mindful that Trump’s personal attacks and “second-grade stuff,” as one put it, repel some voters, they are considering other candidates.
Few places in New Hampshire have backed Trump as strongly as Alton, a conservative stronghold of about 6,000 people at the southern tip of Lake Winnipesaukee, near the center of the state in Belknap County. It was one of only two New Hampshire counties won by Trump in 2020. In Alton, he defeated Biden 62% to 37%.
The challenges of the seasonal economy, with its long dormant stretches, take a toll on year-round residents. Varney, who voted for Trump twice, said he was supporting another candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, for now to help the 38-year-old entrepreneur build name recognition in the state. Varney said he was not bothered by the indictments against Trump. But he hoped that Ramaswamy’s youth, enthusiasm and business know-how would drive voters his way and make him a contender.
