Mark Clarcq is an independent voter in the presidential battleground state of Arizona. In 2016 he cast his ballot for Donald Trump, but as the former Republican president appeared at a Georgia jail on Thursday on criminal charges of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Clarcq said he will never support him again.
"He's delusional. He's still saying the 2020 election was fraudulent. In Georgia, he was definitely trying to gain votes he didn't have. That's an illegal process. Absolutely I support the Georgia indictment. The justice system should play out and I don't think he should be pardoned," Clarcq, 77, said in a shopping mall in northern Phoenix.
Arizona is one of six presidential swing states that will have a large say in who wins next November's election, and which Biden narrowly won by just over 10,000 votes in 2020. "I'm glad he's been indicted," said Susan Aitken, 71, a registered independent who voted for Trump in 2016. Aitken said she supports the Georgia charges.
In a July Reuters/Ipsos poll, 37% of independents nationally said the criminal cases against Trump made them less likely to vote for him for president, compared to 8% who said they were more likely to do so.including racketeering, which is typically used to target organized crime, for pressuring state officials in Georgia to reverse his election loss and setting up an illegitimate slate of electors to undermine the formal congressional certification of Biden's victory.
Independents have yet to make up their mind about which 2024 candidate they prefer with one in five preferring Biden, the same number preferring Trump and the majority undecided in the July Reuters/Ipsos poll.
