A recent CBS News poll shows former President Donald Trump as the GOP’s top choice for the 2024 presidential race, despite his indictment by the Justice Department. Trump boasts 61% of Republican primary voter support, overshadowing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by 38 points. These figures reflect not just Trump’s enduring popularity among GOP voters, but also widespread disenchantment with the political establishment. Allegations against Trump are seen by his supporters as politically motivated, not a national security risk, with many believing he should remain eligible for presidency even if convicted.
