Trump's Legal Troubles Divide Republicans and Supporters.

Privately, many Republicans are concerned about the seriousness of the federal charges against former President Donald Trump for his post-presidency handling of classified documents. While some GOP candidates are criticizing the Justice Department, others are avoiding giving Trump full support. There is no cohesive strategy for how to handle a GOP presidential front-runner who is staring down a historic federal indictment. Recent polling shows that most GOP voters are not concerned, and Trump remains resilient within Republican politics. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is currently the best-positioned candidate to take advantage of an indictment-induced decline for Trump.
