The Possibility of a President Running from Prison: Explained.

Former President Donald Trump may face indictment for falsifying business records over his efforts to conceal a hush money payment made on the eve of the 2016 election to porn star Stormy Daniels to ensure her silence about a 2006 sexual liaison. If indicted, Trump could still run for president from prison, as Eugene Debs did in 1920. While an indictment would add an entirely new level of uncertainty to the campaign, it wouldn't change much as the possibility of a Trump indictment has long been baked into presidential politics.
