Trump, who is running against Kamala Harris in 2024, is now a convicted felon, has survived an assassination attempt and has chosen a new candidate to run for office.

Trump announced his 2024 presidential campaign in 2022 and formally accepted the nomination at the 2024 Republican National Convention in July. He replaced Pence with Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate. Pence did not support Trump in 2024.

He continues to hold rallies and refuses to accept the results of the 2020 election amid multiple investigations and lawsuits.

Among other things, FBI agents executed a search warrant for Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in 2022, sparking an angry response from Trump and his allies. The search apparently involved material that Trump brought with him to Florida after leaving the White House, triggering a federal investigation under the Presidential Records Act.

In 2023, Justice Department prosecutors charged Trump with 37 crimes, alleging that he withheld confidential documents from the government after leaving office and attempted to prevent their return. But in July, a judge dismissed the case, ruling that the appointment of Jack Smith as special prosecutor to prosecute the case was unconstitutional. Smith has appealed.

Separately, New York's attorney general investigated the Trump Organization's financial dealings, and court filings detailed the AG's office's allegations against the company, including unreasonably inflated property values. In February, after a three-month trial, a judge ordered Trump to pay a $355 million penalty in the civil fraud case. He has appealed.

In 2023, Trump was indicted on 34 counts of first-degree falsifying business records. Trump denied any wrongdoing, pleaded not guilty and accused the investigation of being politically motivated. The trial took place in April and Trump was found guilty on all charges in the first criminal trial against a former American president. Trump claimed he was a “very innocent man.”

In 2023, Trump was indicted for a third time as part of the DOJ's investigation into the events leading up to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, charging him with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction, and conspiracy to defraud the United States vote and make your vote count. After the Supreme Court ruled in 2024 that presidents enjoy some immunity from prosecution, a new, revised indictment was filed in August. Trump has pleaded not guilty.

He has vowed to return to the White House in 2024 and said at a January 2022 rally in Texas that if elected he would consider pardoning the rioters who attacked the Capitol on January 6.

In July, Trump was injured in an attack at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, that killed one spectator and injured two.
