Bakersfield GOP Rep questions strength of Trump indictment.
TL;DR Summary
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's Bakersfield congressional district has a mixed reaction to former President Donald Trump's indictment. Some Republicans believe it is a politically motivated witch hunt, while others think it is about time. A Quinnipiac poll found that 57% of Americans surveyed thought criminal charges should disqualify Trump from running for president again. McCarthy's loyalty to Trump is being put to the test yet again as he tries to balance criticizing the investigation with tempering Trump's incendiary rhetoric.
