Trump's Indictment and the GOP's Future

The indictment of former President Trump by a Manhattan grand jury has enticed some Republicans to jump into the anti-Trump lane, setting up a test of how deep his GOP support truly runs. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who are both considering presidential runs, have criticized Trump and will have to court his voters if they want to seriously compete for the nomination. However, most Republicans continue to defend Trump against the criminal case over an alleged hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump's indictment is sealed, so none of those commenting on it as a political stunt has seen it or know the specific charges involved.
