democracy, and so there was reporting i have talked to voters particularly in georgia. i would credit some of that to -- and i don't give a lot of credit to republicans, but i would credit that to the posture that governor kemp took and the fact that he is not siding with donald trump, and he is deductibledoubling down that the election was decided for joe biden. that is what independents want to hear going into the general election. >> congressman, let's zoom in on georgia. "the wall street journal" calls georgia ground zero for trump exhaustion. here's what we're hearing from one former trump voter in georgia on his frustration with the former president. >> now that he's running for a third time, is there a world where you could see yourself supporting him again despite this? >> absolutely not. the comments coming out of his mouth are just degrading to women, degrading to minorities. i just couldn't vote for him based on his actions.
to flood the zone. i thought it was interesting, one thing that kristen said and i've been hearing as well, it's consuming him but it's also consuming flooding into the race and that continues to the trump exhaustion. so, we know one thing in the short term an arraignment was certainly better than arraignment should be. he made the best. lemonade out of an arraignment day. the reality is, we know there's trump fatigue out there. we know many republicans want to turn the page. this contributes to it. clearly, he's trying to blend the courtroom to the campaign trail to make this all about him. but you wonder it republicans want to talk about, many republicans want to make this race about joe biden. they want to make this race about inflation. they want to win back the white house. to nothing's that's happened in the last few days since we learned about this arraignment it's going to help donald trump, but it's not going to win the effort to getting back to the white house.
president in there can work across the lines. >> brianna, those last two voters you heard from there, these are people who supported donald trump in the past. this is ron desantis' opening, this concern we hear from voters among republicans about a level of trump exhaustion. either the legal troubles or the chaos of the trump administration. despite being a fan of his policies may not be the best path forward for the party this time around. that's the opening provided. donald trump is the front-runner and he's seeking to close that opening, but that is the opening that ron desantis is trying to run through. >> he'll have to convince people that he can carry that mantle. we'll see if he does that. david chalian, thank you so much. running out of time. people are still missing after the partial collapse of an apartment building in iowa. but the danger of letting what's left of the building stand is
no doubt the 2024 campaign has been changed dramatically by the trump indictment. it's an open question, though, if that trump exhaustion out there among so many republican voters does still exist. jeff zeleny, cnn, washington and jeff. thank you for that report. let's discuss now with cnn political analyst in princeton university historian and professor julian zelizer. julian, good to see you. typically i come to you for some historical example that informs this moment. i don't think there is one for a primary that now includes a former president who's been indicted, but let's look at the latest cnn poll here. six out of 10. americans support the indictment , roughly that 62% of intense independent supported so trump is holding strong in the party, but within the party how much does electability beyond the primary matter to these voters? well as of now, that doesn't seem to be the top consideration
hampshire as he decides whether to jump into this race. there is no doubt the 2024 campaign has been changed dramatically by the trump indictment. it's an open question, though, if that trump exhaustion out there among so many republican voters does still exist. jeff zeleny, cnn washington. the us supreme court justice has issued a rare statement of defense critics say justice clarence thomas should have disclosed luxury trips he and his wife took for free. but justice thomas said the trips were gifts from a close personal friend and not a conflict of interest. in a statement, thomas said, quote early in my tenure at the court, iaw guidance from my colleagues and others and the judiciary. pardon me and was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends who did not have business before the court was not reportable. now critics say justice thomas should have reported the travel anyway. he says judicial guidelines are being changed which he will
