House Majority Leader Steve Scalise predicted some Democrats will vote for former President Donald Trump in November because they're 'disgusted' with how the presumptive Republican nominee is being treated in the justice system.
Former President Donald Trump appears at Manhattan criminal court during jury deliberations in his criminal hush money trial in New York, Thursday, May 30, 2024. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise predicted some Democrats will vote for former President Donald Trump in November because they’re “disgusted” with how the presumptive Republican nominee is being treated in the justice system.
“I think a lot of people that maybe weren’t going to vote for President Trump are looking and saying, wait a minute, I need to give this guy a second look because I don’t like what the Democrat Party is doing, from the President of the United States to Democrat DAs who ran on a platform not of putting criminals away, but of just going to find something on Donald Trump,” the Louisiana Republican said.
Mr. Scalise, the No. 2 in House leadership, is just one of many Republican lawmakers who have come to Mr. Trump’s defense in the hush money trial. Some have even traveled to the courthouse to make public statements on the former president’s behalf. But Mr. Scalise took issue with the Biden campaign doing the same this week when they dispatched surrogates to speak outside the Manhattan courthouse.
