Trump has said he expects to be arrested this week ahead of his first official campaign rally in Waco, Texas, on March 25.
"If he is indicted, he will probably negotiate his turning himself in—he might even be able to avoid appearing in person in New York if his lawyers can negotiate for an online appearance," Bateman said.Ron DeSantis
A Newsweek photo illustration of Donald Trump. The former president has predicted he will be arrested, possibly as soon as this week.If Trump is indicted and has to stand trial, the process is likely to take time and may not result in any conviction. Even if the former president is convicted, there's no way to know if he'll serve prison time.
Bateman said that neither a conviction or a prison term were guaranteed but"there's nothing to bar someone in prison from being elected president." "There would be no legal barrier to their doing so. Trump would likely be able to hold virtual rallies regularly, wearing a blue suit and red tie, with a row of American flags behind him," he said.
Singh said that much campaigning in the Republican primaries and caucuses"relies heavily on retail politics—meeting voters in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada—that would afford Trump's rivals a major boost.""Moreover, would the RNC really allow him to appear in Republican Party presidential debates virtually?" he asked.
"The prospect of a former American president running a national campaign from behind bars is like something out of a bad Hollywood script—a film that would never get made because the storyline is too outlandish," Thomas Gift, founding director of University College London's Centre on U.S. Politics, told"And yet, here we are talking about it in an only mildly hypothetical way," he added.
"There is the simple but serious problem that running as a felon would pose," said Singh."Even for some of his more ardent supporters in the GOP base, seeing an aspirant president speaking from prison would be, to understate matters, jarring."

Trump silent on abortion as 2024 campaign pushes forwardNo elected Republican has done more to restrict abortion rights in the U.S. than Donald Trump. Far more than his GOP rivals, Trump is sidestepping the issue just nine months after he and his party celebrated the Supreme Court's decision to strip away women's constitutional right to abortion. Moments after he stepped off his plane just outside Davenport, Trump repeatedly refused to say whether he would support a federal law restricting abortion in every state, a move that anti-abortion activists are demanding of the GOP's presidential contenders.
