Donald Trump Convicted on 34 Felony Charges

Despite Conviction, Trump Eligible for Presidency

Neither a criminal conviction nor a prison sentence would affect Trump's eligibility or his ability to become president. Trump has made his four indictments a focal point for his 2024 candidacy even.

Now that a New York jury has convicted former President Donald Trump of all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, the next obvious question is: Could the former president, who remains the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, assume the Oval Office again if convicted?

The answer is yes. Despite the conviction, Trump is still eligible to run for and serve as president.
