The More Legal Trouble He Gets Into…
Time to Pay Up and Face the Music
Columnist Susan Glasser writes in The New Yorker that Trump’s mounting legal troubles obscure the emergence of a new type of Republican voter, one not necessarily pro-Biden but willing to cast his or her ballot against Trump in the November Election.
In an election likely to be decided on the margins, such voters could make the difference between winning and losing.
The ex-President, triggered by the thought of losing Trump Tower, contemplates a 2024 reckoning.
The slew of court cases is just one of the reasons that Trump may be weaker than the poll numbers currently suggest… In a close general election, however, even a small subset of Republican refuseniks could make the difference. Recent indicators suggest they do exist.
Earlier this month, in the potentially decisive battleground state of Michigan, Haley received around three hundred thousand votes. On Tuesday, even with Haley officially out of the race and Trump facing no actual opposition, voters in several states showed up to cast ballots against their party’s leader—about two hundred thousand of them in both Ohio and Florida. The Republican strategist Sarah Longwell still believes that up to thirty per cent of Republicans might not vote for Trump in the fall. “Of course, some of these voters are going to go home to Trump,” she told me. “Some have already supported Biden in 2020. But there are also new two-time Trump voters who are open to voting against him in November, even if they have an unfavorable opinion of Joe Biden.
These are the voters who are the margin makers and will decide the 2024 election.”

In a speech in South Carolina, Trump said, “We are one movement- one people- one family- and one glorious nation under God.” I then searched and found the following:
