Actually, Trump could run, even if convicted.AgnosticBoy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:16 pmIf he broke the law, he should. The question remains though regarding the evidence for the crime.
That can happen if political leaders inflame the situation. Turn it into a dire situation, an injustice. That usually gets people riled up.
If Trump is convicted, the legally, he can not be president again. If he is indicted and charges are found to be false and/or politically motivated, then I can see Trump being reelected.

Can convicted felons be president?
There are few requirements to serve as U.S. president. According to the U.S. Constitution, anyone who is at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen of the United States and a U.S. resident for at least 14 years is eligible to be elected president. Because the Constitution does not mention criminal records, a person indicted or convicted of a felony would not be barred from serving in the role so long as he or she meets the other requirements.
