Donald Trump found guilty of hush-money plot to influence 2016 election
theguardian.com
Donald Trump has been found guilty of using a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
The verdict came after a jury deliberated for less than twelve hours in the unprecedented first criminal trial against a US president. It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.

NPR polling indicates that only a small percentage of Republicans would be affected by a guilty verdict.
11 % of independents said they'd be less likely to vote for Trump.
Small amounts of Republicans would be less likely to vote for Trump with a guilty verdict. I believe that I heard 7% on the radio, but I can't find a news article to back that up.
I highly doubt any 2024 Republican, let alone 7%, have any actual reservations whatsoever about casting their vote directly for Trump.
Like: I think I can safely say 7% of Republican voters are obligate grifters and liars too for its worth.
Bold statement!
That should cost him a few delegates, hopefully.
Hopefully enough to make a difference in the general election in some swing states.
