Trump boasts of his good results in the polls: "With one more accusation I think the elections will be resolved"
The former president of the United States Donald Trump (2017-2021), who is running for the Republican primaries for the 2024 elections, boasted this Tuesday of his good results in the polls, which continue to give him as a favorite over other conservative candidates, despite to face various charges.
During a rally before veterans in Windham, New Hampshire, Trump explained that every time he is charged he likes to consult the polls: “Because with one more charge I think the elections will be resolved,” he said ironically.
The ex-president accumulates three criminal charges in New York, Florida and Washington DC for the bribery case of the porn actress Stormy Daniels, the case of the classified documents that he illegally took from the White House and the case of his alleged attempts to change the outcome of the 2020 elections, respectively.
To these cases could be added a fourth criminal indictment in Georgia, where Trump is expected to be formally indicted by a grand jury at any moment for his alleged efforts to alter the electoral result in this key state in 2020.
Leads the polls with 53% voting intention

According to that website, if Trump were to face President Joe Biden in a presidential election, the results would be very close, with the Democrat winning by a single percentage point, despite the fact that two weeks ago the Republican was ahead.
Accusations against “corrupt Joe Biden”
At his rally today, Trump reiterated his accusations against “corrupt Joe Biden”, as he nicknames him and who he considers to be behind a political persecution against him and the accusations against him, due to “the incredible numbers” that he is taking in polls.
In what has been his strategy, the former president appeared before the audience as the victim of a plot orchestrated by Biden to silence his complaints that there was fraud in the 2020 elections, despite the fact that he did not deliver a single piece of evidence and the Courts dismissed all the lawsuits he filed in his day.
He regretted that he will not be able to go to the Iowa caucuses or the 2024 New Hampshire primaries due to his judicial problems: “Because I will be sitting in court for garbage, because his attorney general (of Biden) has indicted me,” said Trump, despite the fact that there is still no date set for the start of the trial on his alleged attempt to reverse the result of the 2020 elections.
He also attacked Republican Ron DeSantis
On the other hand, Trump attacked his main Republican adversary, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, since he considers that he has betrayed him by presenting himself in the primaries and assured that he himself was the architect of winning his party's nomination for the governorship of that state.
DeSantis “I don't like it because I had him elected (…), he came to me because he needed help,” the former president stressed. He considered that DeSantis has made a mistake by now running for the presidential primaries and that he should have waited until 2028, in addition to throwing a dart at him: “It takes a certain personality”, alluding to criticism of his opponent about his lack of character and skills. in one-on-one interactions.
He did all this literally sweating the fat drop due to the high temperature in the room, “43 degrees Celsius,” said the former president with his forehead drenched in sweat, which he took advantage of to mock the media, which he predicted would say of him that “he didn't look good”.
