In light of recent events, it's likely that the two potential 2024 general election candidates could be battling serious legal issues. The House has begun its impeachment inquiry of President Biden, despite the lack of substantial evidence of any high crimes and misdemeanors provided by Republicans. At the same time, Donald Trump is challenged with 91 federal and state criminal charges. His campaign appears to be claiming a victory following a new pause in his federal election subversion trial set to commence in March.
The reality of the situation reveals that this so-called victory might not be so clear cut. The Trump campaign aims to delay the trial, perchance to clear the path for a potential presidential run. However, this plan may encounter several roadblocks. The judge in Trump's case has not vacated the dates, but merely put them on hold, and plans to curate a final decision after further reviews. This could lead to a potential delay in the trial, but it would not necessarily imply a definite halt.
