Senate Republicans React to Trump's Moral Scandal Conviction

After Trump's conviction in the sexual harassment case, a group of Republicans in the US Senate expressed doubts about the former US president's ability and chances of survival in the 2024 election.

A federal court in New York announced yesterday, May 9, that 79-year-old American writer Jane Carroll was able to prove her claims in a complaint against former US President Donald Trump for sexually assaulting her in a store in 1996. Trump was ordered to pay more than $5 million in damages.
 
Utah Senator Mitt Romney, who has long been one of Trump's top opponents in the Republican Party, said: "This sentencing is another reason Trump is not eligible to fly the GOP flag again in the next election." .
 
He added: "I hope the American people and their consciences come to the same conclusion that Trump's allies have come to before, and that he should not be our candidate and definitely should not become President of the United States again. According to the Republican senator, there are qualified people who can lead the Republican Party to victory."
 
Romney stressed: A person who is proven to have committed sexual assault should not be a representative of the Republican Party.Senator John Cornyn of Texas said he doesn't think Trump has a chance of winning the upcoming presidential election, but I don't think voters will be affected by the verdict.
 
However, a number of Republicans in the US Senate declined to comment on whether recent events would hurt Trump in the 2024 race.Missouri Senator Josh Hawley said it's up to voters: "People will understand what's important to them."
 
Emphasizing that he believes Trump will still be the Republican presidential nominee in the 2024 election, he noted that Trump's allegations of sexual harassment will make the election interesting as voters should compare the issue to United States President Joe Biden's bag of scandals. .
