Trump's lawyers are trying to delay his other trials. Create BS arguments that require a ruling before his other trials can proceed, elevate it to Supreme Court, run out the clock, hope he gets elected before other cases find him guilty.

Edit: Spelling

Once the election is over, there's no real incentive to pursue these cases, either. Good chance they all get dropped even if he loses.
