A New York jury's finding on Tuesday that Donald Trump was liable for sexually abusing the writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s and then defaming her is rekindling debate within the Republican Party about the former president's electability as he consolidates an early polling lead for the 2024 nomination.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who hasn't endorsed anyone in the GOP primary, said Tuesday that "a verdict like this doesn't put a checkbox in the positive category" and suggested it would "for sure" be a liability in a general election.
