"Trump's Potential 2024 Run: Impact of Hush Money Trial and Voting Rights"

Former President Donald Trump's trial over hush money paid to a porn star in New York could potentially boost his 2024 presidential campaign, as it is considered the weakest of the four criminal cases he faces. Trump is using the trial to energize his supporters and raise funds, framing it as political persecution and a two-tier justice system. While some analysts believe the trial could help Trump by rallying Republicans and independents who view the charges as unfair, others think it may have little impact on the closely contested election, with potential consequences if a small number of Republicans and independents turn against him, especially if he is convicted.
