Whittington discusses seven scenarios from a pardon to a prison-yard presidency in the US. In 1920, Eugene V. Debs ran for president of the US while serving time in prison and received a significant number of votes. The possibility of someone winning the presidency while in prison has never been seriously considered. He tackles the potential scenario of Donald Trump, who is currently facing multiple criminal indictments, winning the presidency in 2024. He explores the slow progress of his cases and the potential for a verdict before the election. Trump's charges include election interference, conspiracy, mishandling national security documents, obstruction of justice, defrauding the federal government, and obstructing a government proceeding. Even if he were convicted, Trump could file appeals and be released pending those appeals, reducing the likelihood of serving a criminal sentence during the election or inauguration.
