As a doomer, I’d like to point out that even conviction and imprisonment, do not prohibit him from winning the presidential election.

Unless he gets convicted in GA.

Why Georgia?

Presidents can issue pardons only for federal crimes, and the Georgia indictment involves exclusively state crimes. Trump couldn’t even seek help from the state’s governor, because in Georgia, unlike many other states, the governor cannot issue pardons.

Depends on what he’s convicted of. There are certain convictions specifically prohibiting you from holding high office.
Lammy@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Is that true, which of the charges do that?
