Trump's Indictment and Presidential Eligibility: What You Need to Know.
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's indictment on 37 counts of mishandling classified documents does not prevent him from running for the 2024 election, even if he is convicted. The charges carry a penalty of up to 20 years in prison. Trump is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday in South Florida. The US Constitution only requires that presidential candidates be natural-born US citizens who are at least 35 years old and have lived in the country for 14 years. Trump's poll numbers rose after his indictment in March in a separate case in New York, and he is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
