[1/2] Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, U.S., July 29, 2023.
More than a dozen Republican voters interviewed on Wednesday unanimously said the new charges would not affect their 2024 election choice.
These voters seemed to accept Trump's contention that he is being targeted by Democrats because he is a political threat.
"The only way I'd vote for anyone other than Trump is if Trump dropped dead before the primaries, and I don't see that happening," Silver said.
The Republican voters who spoke to Reuters appeared unmoved by arguments by Trump's rivals that he likely would lose a November 2024 rematch with Biden.
