2024 Presidential Race is Now in 'Uncharted Territory'

If GOP had real leadership, we’d be rallying round Trump, first, and always. Every Republican candidate considering a run for President and those who have declared, ought to drop out. The time is now.

We need an army to drain the swamp.

Trump ‘Ready To Fight’ as Indictment Throws 2024 Race Into Uncharted Territory

By: The NY Sun, March 31, 2023:

The historic indictment of President Trump thrust the 2024 presidential election into uncharted territory, raising the remarkable prospect that the leading contender for the Republican nomination will seek the White House while also facing trial for criminal charges at New York.

In an acknowledgment of the sway the former president holds with the voters who will decide the GOP contest next year, those eyeing a primary challenge to Mr. Trump were quick to criticize the indictment.

Without naming Trump, Governor DeSantis called the move “un-American.” Vice President Pence, whose life was threatened when pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol, told CNN the charges were “outrageous.”

That posture speaks to the short-term incentives for Republicans to avoid anything that might antagonize Mr. Trump’s loyal base. Yet the indictment raises profound questions for the GOP’s future, particularly as Mr. Trump faces the possibility of additional charges soon at Atlanta and Washington.

While that might galvanize his supporters, the turmoil could threaten the GOP’s standing in the very swing-state suburbs that have abandoned the party in three successive elections, eroding its grip on the White House, Congress and key governorships.

Mr. Trump has spent four decades managing to skirt this type of legal jeopardy and expressed confidence again late Thursday, blaming the charges on “Thugs and Radical Left Monsters.”

“THIS IS AN ATTACK ON OUR COUNTRY THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE,” Mr. Trump wrote on his social media site.

Mr. Trump is “ready to fight,” his attorney, Joe Tacopina, said on Fox News.

Mr. Trump is expected to surrender to authorities next week on charges connected to hush money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to women who alleged extramarital sexual encounters.

For now, it remains unclear how the development will resonate with voters. Polls show Mr. Trump remains the undisputed frontrunner for the Republican nomination, and his standing has not faltered, even amid widespread reporting on the expected charges.
