TRUMP IS FURIOUS!! If the judge accepts Jack Smith’s proposal to begin Trump’s trial on January 2, 2024, the criminal defendant will be spending most of January in a DC courtroom instead of barnstorming across Iowa and New Hampshire during the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses.
Since prosecutors expect the trial to last up to 6 weeks, that also means Trump’s campaign would be severely disrupted ahead of the Super Tuesday blitz of 16 GOP primaries on March 5th.
