The historic indictment of former President Donald 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 in 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 Trump were quick to criticize the indictment. Without naming Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called the move "un-American." Former Vice President Mike Pence, whose life was threatened after Trump incited an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, told CNN the charges were "outrageous.

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

"It's a joke," said Patti Murphy, 63, of Fort Worth. "It's just another way of them trying to get him out of their way." Trump, meanwhile, has tried to turn the public against the case. Early on March 18, amid reports that police in New York were preparing for a possible indictment, he fired off a message on his social media site in which he declared that he expected to be arrested within days.

Far left fascism brought to you by one of the most embarrassing enablers in Canada, the corrupt scum from CTV!

It guarantees a Trump win.

Very sad they are using the judicial system as a political weapon. Will this be wrong like all the other times? How long before Trudeau does the same. Bets? I say next next election

The Democrats and Legacy TV programming are going to give Donald Trump the election again. You guys haven't learned your f****** lesson from the first time

He can still run. Do your homework

Landslide for Trump territory. The trial will most likely be after he is president, but even if it wasn't, nothing stops him from running. Then if they put them in prison for this misdemeanor, be can still run for office and win.

I'm not Trump fan but the Democrats just handed the Republicans the 2024 election...very hypocritical of the Democrats. Go after Trump for paying hush money to a pornstar? Didn't Clinton lie to the Grand Jury about a BJ
