Former US President Donald Trump entered a plea of not guilty on Thursday to charges related to conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. The indictment has accused him of engaging in an effort to disenfranchise American voters through false claims of election fraud, with the alleged plot being tied to the January 6th, 2021 Capitol riot. This raises questions about the potential consequences for Trump and how it might impact his potential bid for a second term in the presidency. Notably, Trump's current approval rating stands at 43%, the same as Biden's according to the latest New York Times poll.

Larry Donnelly, Law Lecturer at the University of Galway and Columnist with The Journal stops by to give us his take on what impact a trial will have on Trump’s political future.
