August 5, 2023, 9:21 PMMedia members prepare for the arrival of former President Donald Trump, who is facing federal charges in connection with attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, at U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., Aug. 3, 2023.Despite a majority of Americans believing Tuesday's indictment against former President Donald Trump regarding Jan. 6 is serious, many GOP voters are disregarding the charges and continuing to support Trump.
One such voter is Brad Bulla, who is from Williamson County, Tennessee, and says he will likely vote for Trump in 2024. He called the indictment an "injustice" and "a ploy to keep [Trump] out of the election." James Robertson, who is an Alabama voter and the vice chair of Conecuh County Republican Party, dismissed the indictments as a "tragedy" and "witch hunt." He downplayed Trump's role in Jan. 6, saying the attack on the U.S. Capitol Building was driven by individuals upset by the 2020 election.
Ty Nannet is a retired mechanic for an airline and a John Deere dealer from Indiana. He voted for Trump twice and said he will vote for him again despite the indictments. He suggested Trump's opponents are using the charges to impede his electability. The indictment includes four felony charges against Trump: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. The former president pleaded not guilty to the charges during his arraignment Thursday.
