Trump boasts at Alabama fundraiser that he needs ‘one more indictment to close out this election’

At a Republican Party dinner in Alabama, Former President Donald Trump, who recently faced his third criminal indictment, delivered a defiant speech, showing no remorse and boasting that the charges he faces are actually boosting his popularity for the 2024 presidential campaign. He even proclaimed that one more indictment would solidify his victory in the upcoming election, leaving his opponents with no chance.

Despite pleading not guilty to crimes related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, Trump remains unapologetic and fully committed to his legal defense and false claims of election fraud. His campaign even released an online ad attacking key figures involved in the investigations against him.

During the event, Trump was supported by GOP elected officials, including Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, who encouraged the crowd to stand behind Trump and defend him against his adversaries.

Despite facing mounting legal troubles, Trump’s support remains strong in Alabama, and his primary contest on Super Tuesday is seen as a significant opportunity for other GOP candidates to challenge his front-runner status. Trump’s closest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has been trying to gain support in Super Tuesday states, but Alabama’s enthusiasm for DeSantis seems relatively low, as evidenced by fewer tickets sold for a previous dinner where he spoke.

Many of Trump’s supporters at the event expressed unwavering belief in his innocence and viewed the charges as an attempt to hinder his chances of winning in 2024. They remain steadfast in their support, and some even stated they would write in Trump’s name on the ballot if necessary.
