Welcome to America's day of shame Story by Nick Allen • 4h ago
America awoke on Tuesday to a day of ignominy as images of its former head of state being hauled before a court looked set to leave an indelible stain on the nation.
There was outrage from Republicans of all stripes but, perhaps more notably, a deafening silence from Democrat leaders who have pursued Donald Trump and accused him of wrongdoing for years.
As the backlash against his indictment grew, even many opponents of Mr Trump felt charging him may have been a step too far for America.
"I do think that this is a watershed moment," said Bill Barr, Mr Trump's former Attorney General who split with him in 2021.
"And I don’t think it’s going to end up good for the country.”
Meanwhile, poll after poll demonstrated growing support for Mr Trump. A new one on Monday night showed he had widened his lead over his rivals in the 2024 Republican presidential nominating contest.
According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll, 48 per cent of Republicans said they want Mr Trump to be their party's nominee. That was up from 44 in a similar poll taken shortly before he was indicted.
Only 19 per cent backed his closest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which was down from 30 per cent in the previous poll. No other candidate scored in double digits.
The poll also showed that a narrow majority of Americans, including 80 per cent of Republicans, believe the charges against Mr Trump are politically motivated.
