"Trump vows to run for president in 2024 despite potential conviction"

Former President Trump stated that he would not drop out of the 2024 presidential race even if convicted of charges related to a 2016 illegal hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump is facing multiple criminal probes and is the first president in U.S. history to face criminal charges after being indicted in Manhattan earlier this month. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that specifies that a candidate who's been charged or convicted cannot seek or take office.
