WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s rivals for the Republican presidential nomination jumped to his defense Thursday after he was indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan, a sign of the former president’s continued power within the party.
Many of his declared or potential rivals were quick to assert that the potential prosecution was merely about politics rather than the possibility that Trump may have committed a crime.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called it “un-American” and a “weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda.”
“The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent,” DeSantis said in a statement on Twitter.
He vowed that Florida “will not assist in an extradition request” in what he called “questionable circumstances at issue.”
DeSantis isn’t yet a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, but he is widely seen as the likeliest alternative to Trump, and as a result, he has been the target of relentless attacks from Trump for months.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who became the first major candidate to launch a challenge to Trump in 2024, posted a video of herself before the indictment was made public criticizing New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
“This is more about revenge than it is about justice,” Haley, who was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, tweeted Thursday.
Former Vice President Mike Pence said on CNN that the indictment was just “one more example of the criminalization of politics in this country."
