Trump’s legal team still has appeals underway regarding the case. But a mid-trial stoppage would be highly unlikely, according to legal experts.

So, barring a hung jury, that basically leaves one of two outcomes:

Trump gets acquitted. From a legal perspective, this would be the least complicated. But a win in the hush-money trial doesn’t mean Trump is out of the woods. He faces three other criminal trials related to the 2020 election and the holding of classified documents, all of which are still in the indictment stage.

Trump is found guilty on some or all charges. Here’s where things get tricky.

Trump will almost certainly appeal the conviction. In the meantime, there is nothing in the Constitution preventing a convicted felon from running for president. In fact, it’s happened before, but both candidates were longshots.

Still, Trump might not be able to vote for himself come November. Convicted felons in Florida, where Trump is registered to vote, are disenfranchised until after completing their sentences.

Which gets to the bigger question: Could Trump actually see jail time?

Trump’s campaign is suggesting as much, texting supporters that he “could be locked up for life.” But legal experts Business Insider spoke to said the former president likely won’t spend time behind bars.

But if Trump did go to jail and won November’s election…

No one seems to know how a sitting US president could run the country from a jail cell. And while Trump could pardon himself as president, that only applies to federal crimes and has never been done before.
