One of the most overlooked aspects of the 2024 presidential election: if Donald Trump loses, he goes to prison. He has a sentencing hearing next month in his New York criminal trial, where he’s been convicted on thirty-four felonies. And he’s set to stand trial three more times in 2025.

Today we got a good reminder of Trump’s status as a convicted felon awaiting sentencing. The New York court of appeals just rejected Trump’s appeal of his gag order in his New York criminal case. This means Trump remains under gag order until his sentencing hearing. If he screws up and attacks the witnesses again or anything along those lines, the judge can use that as a basis for giving Trump a harsher sentence during next month’s sentencing hearing.

So yeah, Donald Trump is still on his way to prison. He’s still just as tangled up in the criminal justice system as ever. And he’s still losing. Donate
