When Donald Trump’s trial started, it was like a gathering of his supporters rather than a legal proceeding.
More and more prominent Republicans are showing up, like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
They’re there to back Trump and criticize the trial, saying it’s unfair.
They believe Trump is being targeted by his opponents to stop him from running for president again.
Some Republicans see this as a chance to get attention and support from Trump and his followers. Even possible vice-presidential candidates are attending.
This trial is becoming a big political event, with Republicans showing strong support for Trump.
