Donald Trump Indictment Pushes 2024 Presidential Election Into Unknown Territory: Will Use Prosecution To Revive Support

Donald Trump

Donald Trump is indicted and becomes the first ex-president to face criminal charges. But his indictment could shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark future elections.

Donald Trump is sure to try to use the indictment to his political advantage. He is already trying to stoke anger among loyal supporters within the Republicans over what he projects as the exploitation of the criminal justice system. But it could also push Republicans to dump him tired of all the drama surrounding him for the past several years.

Trump already stands indicted by the grand jury in Manhattan. This comes after investigations over hush money he allegedly funneled to Stormy Daniels, the porn star, with whom he had an affair since 2004. The money was allegedly paid before the 2016 elections to silence her.

Donald Trump thus becomes the first ex-president of the US to be indicted for criminal charges while he rushes into another campaign for the top job. It is an unprecedented event in the history of the US.

Donald Trump Fails To Back Charges Of Harassment

But loyal supporters of Donald Trump see it as a politically motivated move. It could only harden the resolve of a fanatical section of the GOP and push them towards backing him for his third campaign. This was indicated by party officials, political analysts, and traditional Republican voters.

Supporters of Donald Trump contend that the justice system and the present administration had constantly harassed him and have predicted that it will boost his support base if prosecutors do not come up with a substantial conviction.

Donald Trump had earlier spoke of the possibility of being charged and raised $2 million based on what he alleged was his impending arrest. He has alleged that the whole affair amounted to election interference and political persecution at its highest level. But he has failed to provide any evidence supporting his charges.
