Despite whatever desperate spin you might hear today from the far right's prolific media apologists, this is not good news either for the former president or for his effort to reclaim the office.
diehards—it's a jury of his peers and the people of Georgia, who will spend the next year hearing about Trump's efforts to disenfranchise them. Republican political self-interest, the key ingredient in Trump's many escapes from legal jeopardy, will play no role in whether he is convicted.
It also isn't true that nothing matters. Despite crediting him with the roaring pre-COVID economy in 2020, voters handed Trump a resounding defeat, one that seemed close only because America uses the single-most absurd electoral system on the face of the Earth to elect the president. Every indictment is another piece of evidence for the small but potentially critical bloc of wavering Republicans that Trump is unfit to lead the country, lowering his electoral ceiling inch by inch.
Trump should be charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. That might not be enough to cost him the nomination, but it would make his general election task virtually impossible.
