Trump Seeks Supreme Court Shield from Election Fraud Trial
  • Former President Donald Trump has requested the Supreme Court to postpone his trial for alleged election fraud, citing presidential immunity.

  • The Supreme Court's decision on the delay could influence the 2024 US presidential election and Trump's potential candidacy.

  • Legal experts speculate that the Court may not side with Trump, potentially affecting his eligibility for the 2024 race.

  • If legal proceedings extend beyond the 2025 inauguration, they could impact Trump's governance should he be elected.

  • Trump maintains a strong base of support, which may be bolstered by the ongoing legal narrative.

  • Prosecutors have a deadline of Feb. 20 to respond to Trump's appeal, while a group of former GOP officials has opposed the trial delay.
