What does this mean for his presidential candidacy? Can he still run?
My understanding is yes, he can even run if convicted and in prison. https://prisoninsight.com/can-you-run-for-president-in-prison/
most famously this happened with Eugene Debs, yeah
Breaks my heart to hear him mentioned in the same context as trump.
"While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free..."
Ah, America and its freedom...
Oddly enough, he can run. But as far as I know, he would be ineligible to vote.
