The 2024 presidential election is still more than a year away, but former President Donald Trump appears to have a lock on the Republican nomination, even while facing 91 felony counts in four different courts.
He has led the field by wide margins. A Wall Street Journal survey this past week showed him at 59%, more than 40 points higher than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his nearest competitor.
He also presided over the disastrous withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. And there’s the widening scandal over his alleged role in his son Hunter’s foreign business deals. He moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and brokered a treaty between Israel and two Arab nations. He required federal agencies to eliminate several regulations for every new one, and he called out China for its predatory policies. He launched the Space Force and was rebuilding our military.But something else looms large in Mr.
Independents, GOP voters and disaffected Democrats could put Mr. Trump back in the White House even if he’s convicted in any of the courts. The Wall Street Journal poll found that 48% of GOP respondents said they were more likely to vote for Mr. Trump because of the indictments. Only 16% were less likely.
Special prosecutor Jack Smith, who filed four felony counts in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, did not dare charge Mr. Trump with “insurrection” but instead “conspiracy to defraud the United States” and to “obstruct an official proceeding.” More than 1,150 Jan. 6 defendants have been tried and more than 800 sentenced. They wielded no guns or explosives or set fires. Prosecutors plan to charge another 1,000 people using facial recognition technology. This smacks of China.
