CHESANING, Mich. — Judy Loachridge, a rare undecided voter, keeps up with Donald Trump’s criminal trial by reading the news and hearing about it from her daughter. She said she thinks Trump was dishonest about his finances and was caught in lies.
But as the case nears its conclusion, it has not shifted Loachridge’s thinking about her ballot in November. She already disliked Trump, who she said “doesn’t respect women,” but might still vote for him. She also has concerns about President Biden, who she thinks has been weak on foreign policy. Regardless of what the jury decides, Loachridge reasoned, she is left to contemplate what she regards as a lousy choice in November.
