Jack Smith also made the clear case to Congress last week that he has the evidence that Trump did try to overthrow the 2020 election and inspired the January 6th insurrection, so he should not have been eligible to run in 2024. He should have been in prison.

It was a plurality of the popular vote, not a majority[0]. A majority is >50%. Trump received 49.8%.

So? Because he was legitimately elected he can do whatever he wants with no consequences?

Multiple lawsuits and inquiries on Trump were stopped when he became president.
