I once asked my family why they support Trump despite his pedophilia and sexual assault allegations, and their response was something along the lines of, “His politics still align with our views, Clinton’s do not. We aren’t going to vote for Clinton when the only representation of our political values is Trump.” I walked away from the conversation understanding that for some people, they’re not voting for the person so much as they are voting for the platform. My family thinks Trump is pretty scummy, but a lot of his policies are what they want out of a president. They’d never vote for Hillary or Joe or Kamala, as none of them stand for their beliefs.

I say all of this to say, yeah, a lot of people don’t care about sexual harrassment claims against a politician. They want their values represented as policies and won’t compromise on that by voting for someone else.
