Political commentator scott jennings, who is a former special assistant to president george w. bush, and sarah matthews, a former deputy press secretary for the trump administration and 2020 spokesman for his campaign. sarah, i think when you look at these polls tonight, the answer on whether or not this latest indictment and arraignment hurts him is kind of a maybe. yeah, i think that it s more than probably just the indictment and folks being outraged about it, i do think this is a really strong case against him. obviously, others in the republican party think that it s politically motivated. but i think this latest indictment just serves as a further reminder of how much trauma and baggage comes along with a donald trump candidacy. yeah, i mean, the questions of course of just how many there already are against, damon could there be more indictments to come. scott, this poll though is also suggesting that trump lost support from republican-leaning independents and members of his ....
