A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump on Thursday over alleged hush money payments during his 2016 presidential campaign, a move never conducted upon a former president.

Although the indictment comes as a shock, voters overwhelmingly believe it will not harm or could even help Trump's presidential campaign.

According to a new Trafalgar Group poll in partnership with Convention of States Action, 38% of American voters believe that the indictment and possible arrest of Donald Trump will have no impact on his run. An additional 37% believe it will benefit his reelection.

New @trafalgar_group/@COSProject poll (3/20-22) reveals 74.3% of #Americans think a potential #TrumpIndictment would help or not affect his campaign. Only 25.7% think it would hurt.

Hurt by Party:

42.7% Dems

11.3% GOP

27.5% Inds

“It’s obvious to the majority of Americans that former President Trump is being hounded by a politically-motivated witch hunt designed to discredit him in order to render him a permanent pariah in American politics,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States. “This tactic has never worked, and these early numbers already reveal it’s going to backfire.“

The seven-year-old criminal charge is likely considered a misdemeanor, yet Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has the potential to elevate it to a felony charge by proving Trump falsified records to cover up a second crime.

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi revealed she doesn't uphold the American principle that people are innocent until proven guilty.

The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law.

No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence.

Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.

We must address political power abuses, which is why Convention of States is working to call an Article V convention to rein in the power of the federal government. Sign the COS petition below.
