For more on the political fallout of Trump's guilty conviction, Laura Barone

Lopez heard from Republican voters about how this impacts their thoughts on the

former president and the upcoming election. Laura good to see you. Good to be here.

So you watched this focus group today

with a group of voters a day after that guilty verdict.

How were they reacting?

Amna, this focus group was of voters who voted for Donald Trump twice

in 2016 and in 2020 and they were

slightly already a little souring on him but some of them could have very well

gone back to him and it was conducted by a group run by Republican strategist Sarah Longwell.

And so after this verdict, they said about six of them.

There were nine total.

About six of those voters said that the fact that these were felony

uh... was felonies that uh... trump was convicted of carried more weight for

them than if they had been misdemeanors

and out of those nine voters five of them said that this made them less likely to

support Donald Trump including 52 year old Michelle from Florida.

I'm tired of the lies I'm tired of the nonsense and I believed the testimony and that is why I am

happy that the jury found him guilty and I think also now that he is a convicted

felon he's completely unfit. He can't pass a basic security clearance at this point.

I'm not sure if he can vote in Florida.

He may not be allowed to go to different countries
