and lisa rubin, vaughn hillyard near mar-a-lago, and dave aronberg state attorney for palm beach county, florida. we know that you were in one of the overflow rooms during the arraignment. we also know the next hearing isn t scheduled until december what happens next? over the next few months, lindsey, there will be discovery given from by the prosecution to the defense, and then motions, motions, motions. that s discovery. discovery, evidence. so everything the prosecution has. the prosecution needs to give it over to the defense so that the defense can mount a defense. they need to know what evidence is there against him, and there are concerns by the prosecutors that former president trump might actually leak some of this discovery, leak some of this evidence or just post it on social media so that came up during the arraignment yesterday. by the way, unlyinike any arraignment i had ever seen before, so significant into so many ways. it devolved into basically opening st
i feared it would be. please help president trump, if you can afford 5 or 10 bucks. if you can t afford a dollar, fine, just pray. so while it s interesting to hear all of those republicans really say either, one, the case is weak or, two, this is really all about politics, i will say that i think we re waiting and i say reporters and people who are watching this are waiting to see whether or not there are going to be any cracks in the republican support. i also wonder whether or not voters who didn t vote for donald trump in 2020, whether or not they re going to be motivated by these new charges, whether they re going to be motivated to sort of get behind him. i think it s a hard sell to make that s what he has to do is gain new voters if he wants to not only win the nomination but really win the general election. on that note, i got to be quick on this last one, the entire country is watching and reacting to the news this morning. we re going to show you some front pages here
voters who are so loyal to trump don t turn against the party yamiche, the response from republicans has largely been supported, including among his likely rivals that we just showed, but at least one presidential hopeful says he should drop out of the race. can you tell us what we ve heard? what we ve heard from republicans is largely a robust defense of former president trump, really saying that this manhattan this potential manhattan prosecution of him is really a persecution of him and that it s the wrong thing to do. take a listen to what some people including john bolton and mike pompeo have had to say. this is a political prosecution, and the prosecutor should not have made such a judgment to bring these charges gns against the former president of the united states. i think it will divide america in ways that aren t good for our republic. speaking as someone who very strongly does not want donald trump to get the presidential nomination, i m extraordinary distressed by
waukesha again that s a 16-point win for a republican aligned candidate look, trump was winning this in 2020, winning this by almost 30 in 2016. so erosion of republican support in those suburbs, and there s also you take a look they call these to the bow counties, three counties here, brown county, winnebago county you re looking at green bay, looking at appleten, oshkosh these are three counties donald trump won in 2020 and all flipped last night those are big trouble signs for republicans in wisconsin as we look forward to 2024 and the other big one was for the race for the mayor of chicago. mayor johnson wins this, very close race here. crime obviously, quality of life issues played a central role in this campaign. this had been in the preliminary round when lori lightfoot, the
campaign, and of course that s not even taking into account the other in fvestigations into forr president trump. also as we mentioned, we heard from joe tacopina this morning on today. i want to juxtapose something he said with something the d.a. said why the case is being brought now after a number of false starts here it is. we ve had more evidence made available to the office and an opportunity to meet with additional witnesses. there s no new evidence that s spin. i d like to hear him articulate what that is. if d.a. bragg does have new evidence in this case, why keep it so close to the vest? it s definitely a strategic choice, lindsey, and it s within hisright to do it. so as gabe noted earlier, there will be discovery in the case. president trump and his legal team will get access to that, but there are concerns about how president trump may use that evidence already yesterday lawyers raising the prospect of what s called a protective order that would limit president
