New York City is preparing for a spectacle that could shape the outcome of the upcoming presidential election: the trial of former President Donald Trump. On Tuesday, Trump is scheduled to be arraigned in the city on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records as part of a scheme to hide information about past alleged affairs.
The news of the first-ever indictment of a former U.S. president has had time to sink in with Americans, and media organizations and polling outfits have had time to conduct detailed surveys about how they feel. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The prosecution has pushed for the trial to start in January, while Trump’s defense team has requested that it begin “later in the spring” next year. The exact details of the charges are still unknown, but the outcome of the trial could have a major impact on the Republican primary race.
The trial is expected to be a highly publicized event, with protesters already gathering near the courthouse in anticipation. It remains to be seen how the trial will play out and how it will affect the election, but it is sure to be a major event in the coming months.
