Donald Trump Campaigning for 2024 Election

Questions have been asked over the qualification of the US former president to run for the 2024 election following the criminal charges levied against him.

VerseNews Nigeria reported that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges Trump repeatedly violated New York’s business-records laws in trying to cover up a payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels in an attempt to buy her silence in the days before the 2016 presidential election.

The charges carry a maximum prison sentence of four years per count or a payment of fine.

However, this Online News Media reports that Trump can continue his election campaign.

This because here’s nothing in the US constitution to prevent Trump from continuing his election campaign now he is being charged.

Even if he was imprisoned, he could theoretically still run for president and win an election.

But a prolonged legal fight and a trial will affect and be a distraction to his presidential campaign in time and energy, and the scheduling of election rallies.
