Why would independents who didn't support him initially suddenly support him because of these indictments? You need independents to win the general election and this doesn't help him at all with them.

These indictments maybe somewhat helpful in a primary but not in a general election because independents already have a negative view of Trump and these indictments only reinforce their initial negative views.

These indictments have sadly guaranteed a Trump loss in the general election and anyone who thinks otherwise is out of his or her mind.

Regardless of these indictments, Ron DeSantis would still be running. He understands that Trump cannot win a general election and this is his time to run.

DeSantis is not banking on these indictments stopping Trump in the primary. DeSantis knows that his only path to the nomination is beating Trump fair and square in a primary.

These indictments are intended to strengthen Trump in a primary and harm him considerably in a general.

We will see what happens in 2024 with regards to the nomination but I can promise you this: If Trump is the nominee, he will definitely lose the general election.
