What happens if Trump wins in 2024 and then is sentenced to prison?
He can be president in prison. It's the old Air Bud approach - there's no rule that says a dog can't play football.
He can probably pardon himself for any federal crimes if he gets reelected.
Getting a pardon for Georgia state crimes would be very difficult though.
His sentence will be suspended for the length of his term. A state cannot prevent the President from executing his duties and the federal judiciary will see a separation of powers issue.
I just can't even imagine an America where he wins 2024.
