00:00Hello there, this is me Ansh Pandey on One India News.
00:13With just 70 days until the pivotal moment, America stands at the brink of a historic
00:19decision.
00:20On November 5th, 2024, the nation will cast its votes to elect the 47th President of the
00:27United States, setting the stage for the next four years of leadership.
00:33The political landscape has been nothing short of dramatic.
00:37At the recent Democratic National Convention, a torch was passed as Joe Biden, in a surprising
00:43move, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's presidential candidate.
00:49This decision energized the Democratic base and set the stage for a historic, groundbreaking
00:55campaign.
00:57Whereas on the Republican side, the path to the nomination was fraught with tensions.
01:02Months of internal strife, public backlash, and legal challenges threatened to derail
01:08the party's unity.
01:09However, as the dust settled at the Republican National Convention, it became evidently clear
01:14that Donald J. Trump is going to be once again the party's presidential candidate nominee.
01:22Trump's campaign has seen a remarkable resurgence in recent weeks too.
01:27Media outlets report a surge in his popularity, particularly in crucial swing states.
01:33This uptick is attributed to two significant events.
01:36First, the widely criticized performance of President Joe Biden in a recent debate and
01:42the shocking July 13th incident where Trump was shot during a Pennsylvania rally, an event
01:49that galvanized his support base.
01:53Yet his road to the White House remains fraught with obstacles for the former president.
01:59The specter of legal troubles continues to loom large with the 2020 election interference
02:05charges casting a long shadow over his campaign once again.
02:11While a Supreme Court ruling seemed to clear the path for his candidacy, recent developments
02:17suggest that his legal battles are far from over.
02:21Reportedly, the U.S. prosecutors have updated the charges against former President Donald
02:27Trump regarding his alleged interference in the 2020 elections.
02:33This revision comes as a response to the recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity,
02:38which had cast doubt on the case.
02:42The updated indictment issued by Special Counsel Jack Smith maintains the four original
02:48charges against Trump.
02:51First one, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., second, conspiracy to obstruct an official
02:56proceeding, third, attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, and at last, the conspiracy
03:03against rights.
03:05However, the language has now been modified to focus on Trump's actions as a political
03:11candidate rather than a sitting president.
03:14Trump is now emphasized as a private citizen and a candidate during the alleged election
03:20interference.
03:21Furthermore, several references of Trump pressuring Department of Justice officials to overturn
03:27the defeat have been added.
03:30The indictment also still includes the allegation that Trump has attempted to persuade his vice
03:35president Mike Pence to obstruct Joe Biden's election certification.
03:40However, the legal experts note that this conversation between Trump and Pence might
03:46fall under official acts protected by the presidential immunity.
03:52The Special Counsel Jack Smith's latest move makes it pretty obvious that even if Trump
03:57wins the presidency, he will continue to face judicial pressure and court drama.
04:04While the exact timing of Trump's new trial still remains uncertain, speculation abounds
04:09about its potential impact on the electoral process.
04:13Legal experts and political analysts are divided on whether the proceedings will begin before
04:19the November 5th election, potentially influencing voters, or will they be postponed until after
04:25the elections.
04:26Trump has already pleaded not guilty to these charges and continues to deny any wrongdoing.
04:32He has already criticized the revised indictment on his Truth Social platform, calling it as
04:37a dead witch hunt and demanding immediate dismissal.
04:42The timeline for these cases also remains uncertain, with many legal experts doubting
04:46that whether they will reach the trial before the election or after.
04:51So all in all, if Trump wins the election against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris,
04:56he can potentially order the officials to drop the federal charges against him.
05:01But if he doesn't, he might be compelled to exit the presidential race or abandon the
05:07office even after he wins the elections.
