Senate Republicans are nervously anticipating the verdict in former President Trump’s Manhattan hush money trial and warn it could have a significant impact on the election.
GOP lawmakers say a failure to secure a conviction would be a major embarrassment for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that would strengthen Trump.
But they admit they don’t know how a conviction would play out, given that between 20 percent and 30 percent of GOP primary voters said they would not see Trump as fit for office if convicted of a felony.
