re: Meet TRUMPS' Newest GOP Rival -Combative Vivek Ramaswamy Emerges as Third in Polls
TRUMP Faces 4 March 2024 Trial Just a Day Before Super Tuesday
DC Judge Sets 4 March 2024 Trial Date For Trump Federal Election Interference Trial
BBC 29 AUG 2023
Donald Trumps' campaign stops are just one part of his increasingly hectic schedule
Trump, seeking a return to the White House in 2024, already had a crammed political calendar. Now, with multiple legal dramas set to unfold, it is approaching the point of pure chaos.
A federal judge has scheduled the trial for his alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election for 4 March, the day before Super Tuesday, the biggest voting day in the Republican race.
That trial - in Washington DC - would pull Trump off the campaign trail for a pivotal stretch of his campaign, when he could be securing himself as the Republican standard-bearer or engaged in an extended struggle with one or more remaining rivals.
Trumps' lawyers have already vigorously complained about proposed trial schedules conflicting with the presidential campaign, which the former president and his supporters have branded "election interference" by his enemies.
Trump has vowed to appeal the trial date ruling. In a post on his social media site, he derided the judge as "biased" and "Trump hating" and said the timing was "just what our corrupt government wanted".
Trumps' legal team had initially proposed an April 2026 date for the federal trial - a timeline the judge said was unacceptable.
