Will Trump’s Arrest Help Him win the Republican primary in South Carolina?

Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was arrested on April 6th, 2023 for charges related to obstruction of justice, corruption, and abuse of power. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and Governor Henry McMaster have expressed their support for Trump, claiming that the arrest will help him win the Republican primary in South Carolina. However, our fact-checking analysis has determined that while Graham and McMaster’s support of Trump may have some effect on the primary, it is unlikely to be the deciding factor. The primary will be determined by a number of factors, such as the candidates' positions on the issues, their records, and endorsements from prominent politicians. Therefore, Donald Trump’s arrest is unlikely to have a significant impact on the outcome of the primary.
