Manhattan Criminal Court judge Juan Merchan will have wide discretion to choose from six potential punishments for former President Donald Trump at his sentencing next month - including some that would all but prevent the GOP frontrunner from hitting the campaign trail.
The sentencing could also upend the 2024 presidential debate calendar if Trump's sentence prevents him from attending.
Merchan cannot disqualify Trump from running, but the judge can impose various sentences that upend the race, including prison time.
At absolute most, a prison sentence for Trump would look like anywhere from one to three years. While it's also unlikely to happen, a sentence beyond one year would mean he serves his time at an upstate prison.
