Trump's Legal Troubles Reshape GOP Primary and Boost Rivals.

The indictment of former President Donald Trump is likely to shape the course of the Republican primary for the 2024 presidential election. Key dates to watch include the Iowa Republican caucuses in early to mid-January 2024, the Georgia primary on March 12, 2024, and the Florida primary on March 19, 2024. The trial date for Trump's Manhattan criminal case is set for March 25, 2024, and the Florida case could go to trial in the summer of 2024. The issue of Trump's legal troubles will be unavoidable in the primary, with candidates either confronting him directly or coming to his defense.
