A former President of the United States, Donald Trump, and his allies may soon face trial in Georgia for alleged crimes related to the 2020 election. The Fulton County District Attorney has asked a judge to schedule the trial for March 4, 2024, the day before Super Tuesday.
Trump’s lawyers are expected to try to slow down the proceedings or move the trial to federal court, where they believe Trump may face a friendlier jury. The Fulton County DA’s office has been working on this for a long time and they have been determined to bring the case to trial.
The trial could provide a split screen as Trump vies for the Republican nomination for the 2024 election. It is a reminder that Georgia was unique in the broader story of Trump’s failed coup.
The 2020 election was a contentious one, with Democrats holding the governorships in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and other key swing states. Republicans held one or both of the state houses in each of these states, often through gerrymandering.
The trial of Donald Trump and his allies is a reminder of the contentiousness of the 2020 election and the unique role that Georgia played in it. It is unclear how the trial will proceed, but it is certain to add to the chaos of Super Tuesday.
