How charges against Trump could affect the 2024 presidential election
Former President Donald Trump’s April 4 arraignment on 34 felony counts comes as his third presidential campaign ramps up.
Both allies and opponents are moving to use the charges to their advantage in the 2024 presidential election.
Trump’s team immediately tied the Stormy Daniels payout case to his campaign, calling the indictment “Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history.”
Democrats, they said, “have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement.”
“There are those who will accept his narrative that he’s being persecuted and not prosecuted and he’ll probably use it as a fundraising tool,” said John E. Jones, president of Dickinson College and former United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
In fact, the Trump campaign said they raised more than $4 million within 24 hours of the indictment.
Down the line, though, it could cost Trump voters in the general election.
