In a normal world, Republican politicians would be disgusted by the fact that they are going to have a convicted felon at the top of their ticket. But in Republican world, they are embracing Donald Trump even harder after his 34 felony convictions. They believe that this loyalty will be rewarded in the future.
Also, the Constitution has minimal requirements for someone to be able to run for President, and many Americans are shocked that being a convicted felon doesn't make someone ineligible to run. The only way to fix that is to amend the Constitution, and that is easier said than done. Farron explains what it would take to change the rules.
And Donald Trump is anxiously awaiting his sentencing on July 11th, but he should also be concerned about the fact that he still has 3 pending criminal trials. While most of those trials won't happen before the election, there is still a very good chance that he'll end up with multiple criminal sentences before it is all over.
Finally, based on the polling data that has come out since his criminal convictions, Donald Trump's political career could finally be coming to an end. There is little chance that a loss in this year's election would lead to Trump running again in 2028, but that doesn't mean that he's going to slink away quietly for the rest of his days.
