This is just not true, unfortunately. All of Trump’s legal trouble, including dozens of felony convictions, didn’t move the needle against him one bit. To the contrary, he only gained support during that time period. The people voting for Trump did not care one bit about any of the criminal cases against him, such that there was nothing Garland’s case could’ve done to change that. Even the attempts at prosecution only seemed to make Trump more of a martyr in the eyes of his followers.

They didn't care about criminal charges that amounted to nothing because our justice system waited too long and decided to put it forward in Florida with Trump sycophant judge instead of DC like it should have been. MAGA was able to delay and obfuscate because nothing happened for so long. The sole felony conviction he had came late and was for paying off a pornstar, a conviction that even if deserved, is still so small compared to the crimes he did commit.
Trump would have found it rather difficult running for President if he was in a prison cell during the last year or two.
