Description
This Week in Politics…Former President — and current 2024 candidate — Donald Trump was arraigned on felony charges in NYC, where investigators allege he falsified business records related to hush money payments during his first campaign for president.

Campaign-wise — we all know political races are about cash and Trump's 2024 campaign says they’ve brought in more than $12 million in donations since news of his indictment.

Some polls are reflecting a boost to Trump’s campaign as well. In a recent Reuters/Ipsos online poll of about 700 Republicans, 48% said Trump should be the nominee in 2024, that's up from their poll taken before the indictment.

But how will this recent post-indictment boost to Trump impact DeSantis' plans?
