Trump's Conviction: Can He Still Run for President?
Legal Implications
The Constitution sets few eligibility requirements for presidential candidates, and a felony conviction does not automatically disqualify someone from running.
Florida's Jurisdiction
Florida defers to the jurisdiction of a felony conviction as to whether a felon can vote, which means that Trump may not face any restrictions in that state.
Other Considerations
However, Trump has been convicted of 34 felony counts in New York, and some states, such as Colorado and Maine, have disqualified him from running for president in their jurisdictions.
It is still unclear whether Trump's conviction will affect his ability to campaign in other states or whether he will face potential legal challenges.
