What Trump's conviction means for election​

Anthony Zurcher
North America correspondent

Donald Trump’s criminal conviction presents a remarkable collection of historic firsts.

He’s the first former US president to be found guilty of a felony. He’s the first presumptive major-party nominee to become a convicted felon as well.

[…]

In exit polls conducted during those Republican primaries this winter, double-digit numbers of voters said that they would not vote for the former president if he were convicted of a felony. Thirty-two percent of Republican voters in North Carolina’s March primary said Trump would not be fit for the presidency if convicted.

An April survey by Ipsos and ABC News found that 16% of those backing Trump would reconsider their support in such a situation.

Those were hypothetical convictions, however.

[…]

“History books will record this as a truly extraordinary, unprecedented event, but a lot will depend on what happens afterwards,” he says.

The ultimate judgement on the importance of Trump’s conviction will come at the hands of voters in November. If the former president is defeated, his guilty verdict is likely to be viewed as one of the reasons why.

If he wins, it may become just a footnote to Trump’s tumultuous yet consequential political career.

There is no precedence for this moment - but we will have to wait until November to know the real impact.

Okay. I'll say verdicts. JMO.

That may occur: but at this moment he is deemed a guilty felon- that is who he is at this moment

And I'm not the only one. Plenty of law abiding voters will not let this verdict cloud their views on President Trump. JMO.

Of course not. If the ridiculous lies that come out of his mouth every time he opens it haven't given one pause to vote for him, this surely won't.

Not to worry, the MAGA led supreme court will save him. That's why they were put there.

"Rigged trial, disgrace" blah blah blah blah

Someone needs to buy him a thesaurus….he is redundant and unintelligent.

Having a convicted felon as your nominee kind of negates that IMO.

The jury was spoken:
DJT is now a Convicted Felon.

Moo ...as a none American.. it's like watching a reality show. Are Biden or Trump your only choices? How many millions of people live in USA?.. .moo

Sorry I disagree about your statement of lies. I feel that this conviction will be overturned before it needs to go to the SC.

But we will see. JMO.

 

[Tamagal]

Probably not good for President Trump. Hopefully I'm wrong. JMO.

He is not the president & gladly you were right. Justice has prevailed.

 

[Smelly Squirrel]

Question. Was Trump able to stay awake for the verdict?

 

[Deleted member 39678]

He is not the president & gladly you were right. Justice has prevailed.

I call all former Presidents President to give them the respect that they deserve. But that's just me. JMO.

Can Trump still run for president as a convicted felon?​

Yes, Trump is still eligible to run for the White House, even after these guilty verdicts.

The US Constitution sets out relatively few eligibility requirements for presidential candidates: they must be at least 35, be a “natural born” US citizen and have lived in the US for at least 14 years.

There are no rules blocking candidates with criminal records - a person could even be in prison and still run for president.
