The GOP's 2024 Dilemma: Trump Loyalty or Law and Order?

Republican presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Asa Hutchinson have different plans for how they would approach the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump if either were to capture the White House in 2024. Ramaswamy vowed to pardon Trump if elected president, while Hutchinson called Ramaswamy's vow to pardon Trump "simply wrong." Other 2024 GOP contenders have criticized the Justice Department since Trump first disclosed the indictment, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis accusing the DOJ of "weaponization of federal law enforcement" and former Vice President Mike Pence calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to "stop hiding behind the special counsel and stand before the American people."
