Trump’s courtroom and campaign trail collision is about to become a reality
Donald Trump’s presidential election campaign is set to clash with his legal challenges as he prepares for the Iowa caucuses. Trump faces four looming criminal trials and 91 criminal charges, making this an unprecedented White House race. The former president is well positioned to make an extraordinary political comeback, potentially becoming the second ex-president after Grover Cleveland in 1892 to claim a non-consecutive second term. Trump’s legal battles include fighting efforts by Maine and Colorado to bar him from the ballot over the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist” ban and challenging special counsel Jack Smith over his claims to overturn the 2020 election. Trump’s rivals, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, struggle to capitalize on Trump’s legal troubles.
