Republicans agree the indictment is ‘politically motivated,’ but it’s not the reason they’re moving toward, or away, from Trump.
But just outside the city where Trump was arraigned Tuesday, Republican voters in this competitive House district say while they think the indictment is “politically motivated,” it isn’t the deciding factor in whether they will support Trump in 2024.
In New York’s Putnam County, the heart of Trump’s support in the district, several Republicans agreed that the indictment was a “charade,” with some claiming that what President Bill Clinton did was much worse, referencing Clinton’s involvement with Monica Lewinsky. Others cited Trump’s behavior for their desire to possibly look elsewhere, mentioning his “ego” and how he “belittles” people.
