A recent Politico Magazine/Ipsos survey has found that nearly one-third of Americans would not vote for former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election if convicted in the federal grand jury investigation related to the January 6 protest.
The legal cases against Trump are just beginning, and they may reveal even more information that damages his reputation.

They argue that every indictment against him actually boosts his popularity in the GOP Primary.
Maybe not such a good plan as the last quarter, Trump’s campaign raised $38 million, whereas Biden’s campaign surpassed him with a total of $72 million in earnings.
Biden’s campaign has yet to spend the money it has earned while Trump is blowing through his money on lawyers to fight his various indictments.
Concerns arise within the GOP Primary, as there are signs of Trump’s support declining in key states like Iowa.
His absence from the first Fox News debate has also allowed other candidates, especially Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, to gain momentum.
NEW CNN POLL:
"Donald Trump, 47%, Joe Biden, 46%…There was not a single poll conducted by CNN during the entire 2020 cycle in which Donald Trump got a higher share of the vote than Joe Biden did, so this is a vastly different picture from what we saw four years ago…" pic.twitter.com/9Y6g7vhlb9

Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy are also experiencing a surge in campaign contributions, improving their standings in the polls.
Regardless of the primary outcome, the Republican Party should carefully consider whether to nominate Trump, given his legal challenges and potential discoveries.
The party may need to explore alternative candidates for the 2024 presidential nominee.
