"Republicans Tread Lightly on Trump's Indictment at Conservative Conference in Atlanta"

Republican presidential contenders gathered in Atlanta, the city where Donald Trump was recently indicted, but largely avoided criticizing him. The event, hosted by radio host Erick Erickson, provided a glimpse of how Trump may factor into the upcoming 2024 campaign. Former Vice President Mike Pence acknowledged differences with Trump but emphasized his loyalty, while Nikki Haley offered a critique paired with a compliment. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis called for the party to look ahead, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott focused on optimism for the future. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who has criticized Trump, could shift dynamics when he appears at the event. The GOP primary electorate is divided, with a portion of hardcore Trump supporters and others who have doubts about his electability in a general election.
