A new poll finds that a majority of voters think that the indictment, arrest, and finger-printing of former President Donald Trump make America look like a banana republic.
So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a majority of voters think that the indictment, arrest, and finger-printing of former President Donald Trump make America look like a banana republic.While the nation debates the former president’s indictment for having classified documents in his home, the public is also aware of how a similar case has gone cold against his top opponent, Biden.
And that’s led to the “banana republic” charge, a reference to the practice of Central and South American dictators persecuting their opponents. The question Rasmussen Reports teed up for likely voters was posed by Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who tweeted: “This is an affront to every citizen: we cannot devolve into a banana republic where the party in power uses police force to arrest its political opponents. It’s hypocritical for the DOJ to selectively prosecute Trump but not Biden.”
In its latest survey previewed by Secrets, 58% of likely voters said Ramaswamy had it right. Some 46% agreed “strongly,” said Rasmussen. Even 37% of Democrats agreed.But there was far less agreement on how the charges will affect the 2024 presidential election, which looks like it will be a rematch of the 2020 race against Biden and Trump.Rasmussen found that 34% believe the case should help Trump win the GOP nomination, 33% believe it won’t, and 26% said it won’t make a difference.
