Trump's courtroom battles and upcoming trial dates
Former President Trump is facing a series of legal battles leading up to the 2024 election. With multiple trials scheduled, including a federal 2020 election trial on March 4th, 2024, it is speculated that these court proceedings could impact his chances. Defendants in the Georgia case could potentially flip, but it is unlikely that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will change his story. The legal calendar is expected to dominate the election cycle, making it difficult to focus on other important issues.
