Twelve jurors have found former U.S. president Donald Trump guilty on all counts in his hush-money trial in New York, making him the first American president to be convicted of a felony.
Is it true that he can still run for the office even if he’s in jail?
I think it was ABC that just showed a poll saying 15% of independents would be more likely to vote for Trump if he’s a convicted felon, 8% less likely, and 74% indifferent.
So uh, at least amongst independent voters, no, apparently being a felon does not matter that much.
The presumption is normally the people wouldn’t vote for a criminal let alone one that’s in jail.
Who would have thought this would be a hell of a presumption in this day and age

I would think a percentage of that 74% weren’t going to vote for him anyway.
