The impeachment of the former president of the United States Donald Trump for the well-known Stormy Daniels casewhich investigates the tycoon’s payments to a porn actress to hide an extramarital relationship in the middle of the electoral campaign, has precisely clouded the horizon of the former president, who wants to run for the White House again.

Legally, neither an indictment nor a conviction could prevent Trump from being the candidate of the Republican Party in the 2024 presidential election, nor was he elected to a second term. However, now a range of possibilities opens up for the former president.

On the one hand, that the accusation causes his main Republican opponent, the governor of Florida, to Ron DeSantis, you can take advantage of this accusation or possible conviction to relaunch your figure and ensure the nomination against Joe Biden, who is expected to seek re-election next year. Curiously, and if Trump refuses to be handed over to the New York authorities, DeSantis would be in charge of signing a court order to extradite him to the Big Apple.

On the other, Donald Trump, who has already heated up the atmosphere by advancing that he would be arrested for this case -something that did not happen-, could take advantage of this “Witch hunt“, as he calls it, to relaunch his candidacy and unite his electoral base for next year.

At the moment, it is difficult to know the consequences of a case that could last until well into next year. According to experts consulted by Reuters, the trial could take place in the middle of the electoral campaign or even after the presidential ones. On average, a criminal case in Manhattan, where the magnate is being investigated, takes more than 900 days to go from the indictment phase to the court verdict. So the judicial result could be known with Trump, if he is elected, back in the White House.
