The judge overseeing Donald J. Trump’s criminal case in Manhattan postponed his sentencing until after Election Day, a significant victory for the former president as he seeks to overturn his conviction and win back the White House.
In a ruling on Friday, the judge, Juan M. Merchan, rescheduled the sentencing for Nov. 26. He had previously planned to hand down Mr. Trump’s punishment on Sept. 18, just seven weeks before Election Day, when Mr. Trump will face off against Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency.
While the decision will avert a courtroom spectacle in the campaign’s final stretch, the delay itself could still affect the election, keeping voters in the dark about whether the Republican presidential nominee will eventually spend time behind bars.
The sentencing will definitely happen, it’s a state level case and he’s already been found guilty. There’s nothing almost anyone can do to stop the process from continuing at this point.
You bet that if he wins, it won’t. Notice the strategically selected November 18, just 2 weeks after to be sure it is certain.
I know if it state, but if he wins it will be delayed or it will be also in the wrist. If delayed and he gets actual jail time, he will use military to stop it.
Anyway since Merchan did this delay it is now certain that what the sentence is will depend on the election.
They showing us clearly that the law only applies the plebs.

He could get a pardon from the governor, right?
