“Even if he’s in jail, I’ll vote for him,” said Al from Florida when asked if he still plans to support Trump. “He was indicted for political reasons.

Joanne, a resident of both Massachusetts and Florida, said, “I sure do,” when asked if she still plans to vote for Trump, adding that she just keeps getting stronger and stronger with each indictment.
“They want him out of the picture. He’s threatening the other party too much, and he’s discovered a lot of things that shouldn’t be exposed, and that should be exposed. And I feel like he’s covering up a lot for the other party. ,” he added.
Jim from New Hampshire said he was “more intent” on voting for Trump because of the charges.
“It’s just so obvious what’s going on that it’s just impossible not to see it. It’s just too much. They came on with too much, stuff that nobody in the world would even reprimand for. They’re indicting him,” he said.

Jason from Rhode Island said, “I think they’re all a political witch hunt. They’ve been after Trump since he announced when he was going to run, and they haven’t stopped. The fake news media is the worst thing that ever happened. .”
When asked if there was a second-best choice for president among the Republicans running, attendees were split. Some wanted to stick with Trump, while others with ties to Florida said they would support Gov. Ron DeSantis as an alternative.
“I’m a resident of Florida and Ron DeSantis is my governor and I think the world of him. If Trump doesn’t get in, I’d love to see DeSantis,” Joanne said, sharing that sentiment with Al.
