"Trump is now a convicted felon. He can still run for president" according to msn.com, and then asked,"Can a convicted felon vote?"

The answer, from msn:

It depends.

Trump's right to vote in Florida in November's election will depend on whether he is sentenced to a term in prison and if he has finished serving that prison sentence by the time of the election.

Each state makes its own rules. Vermont and Maine allow felons to vote from prison. There has been movement in multiple states toward allowing felons on parole to cast ballots.

Trump is now a Florida resident - and Florida voters, in 2018, overwhelmingly backed a referendum to reenfranchise convicted feons. But Republican lawmakers who control the state's government first delayed and then qualified the reenfranchisement by requiring at felons must pay all fines and fees associated with their sentence.

The New York jury found him guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Unsurprisingly, Trump insists that he's "a very innocent man."

Jill Biden sums Trump up in one word, chaos.

Expect to hear from Glenn Kirschner on his youtube channel shortly.
