Sheriff Chad Bianco, with a 30-year law enforcement career in Riverside County, California, assumed the role of a law-and-order conservative.
Elected as the county’s sheriff in 2018, he has encountered numerous criminals during his tenure.
Despite his background, Bianco is now backing a felon in a presidential race, a move that diverges from his usual encounters with typical criminals involved in drug trafficking or violent crimes often prevalent in California.
The individual leading to this sheriff’s shift in “changing teams” is no ordinary criminal; it is the significant figure of former President Donald Trump.
In a social media video, the vocal Californian declared his unwavering support for the presumed Republican nominee, Donald Trump, despite Trump’s recent conviction on 34 felony charges in New York.
After a New York jury convicted former President Donald Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, new polls reveal how American feels about the upcoming 2024 election.
In a CBS News/YouGov poll, 57% of adults agreed with the jury’s decision in Trump’s trial. Similarly, a Morning Consult poll revealed 54% of registered voters supporting the verdict, while an ABC News/Ipsos survey indicated that 50% of adults believed the verdict was appropriate.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, only 1 in 10 Republicans claimed they were less inclined to vote for Trump following the verdict.
However, the majority (55%) of Republican voters indicated that the verdict did not impact their voting decision, while 34% mentioned it made them more inclined to support Trump.
Approximately 1 in 10 GOP voters expressed decreased likelihood to vote for Trump, aligning with a previous NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. Despite the potential impact of these voters, the Reuters/Ipsos poll highlights that 9 in 10 Republicans continue to support Trump.
Two polls from Reuters/Ipsos and Morning Consult looked similar before and after the verdict against Trump. other national surveys we’ve seen before the verdict.
Reuters/Ipsos poll of registered voters: Biden 41%, Trump 39% (compared to Biden 40%, Trump 40% previously).
Morning Consult poll of registered voters: Biden 45%, Trump 44% (compared to Trump 44%, Biden 42% previously).
The ABC News/Ipsos poll showed stable favorability ratings for Trump and Biden compared to March.
While a small shift towards Biden could be significant in November, current polling suggests a close race with no clear winner.
The verdict’s impact on the 2024 presidential election remains uncertain, with independents leaning towards supporting the verdict and advocating for Trump to withdraw his candidacy.
