What could the indictment of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan Criminal Court Tuesday mean for the 2024 presidential election? Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky and Republican strategist Chris Russell discuss Trump’s indictment and its potential political impact in New Jersey and nationwide.
“I don’t see how this is a downside for Democrats because ultimately the more Donald Trump takes center stage, the more everybody else fades into the background, the more this becomes a referendum on Donald Trump and he can’t help himself,” Roginsky said.
“Our politics is in a very weird place. Joe Biden does not have majority support to run again from Democrats, if you look at any national poll,” Chris Russell said. “I think the Democrats, they can’t resist going after Trump. Or, cynically, they want him to be the nominee. This case is certainly going to rally supporters around him because of its weakness.”
