Trump’s Court Dates During 2024 Election:
Aug. 23, 2023: First Republican primary debate. Trump says he will announce next week whether he intends to participate.
Aug. 25: Deadline for Trump to turn himself in to Georgia authorities.
October 2, 2023: Trump and his sons Eric and Don Jr. stand trial for alleged civil fraud, James is seeking a $250 million judgment and says the family created false valuations of assets.
Possibly Jan. 2, 2024: Smith is seeking a January 2 trial date in his election case against Trump. The date has not been selected, and it’s possible the case will proceed more slowly.
Jan. 15, 2024: Iowa holds the first-in-the nation Republican presidential caucuses. Trump holds a significant lead in available polling, but the state is a particular stronghold for religious conservatives and presents a possible opening for a more conservative challenger.
Also Jan. 15, 2024: Carroll’s defamation case is scheduled to begin in New York. She is seeking $10 million after Trump brushed off her initial victory by telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins the next day that Carroll was a “whack job” with a “made-up story.”
Mid-January to early February 2024: New Hampshire holds the second contest of the Republican nomination. The state is considered a bastion of centrist and independent-minded voters and the results in Iowa could have a spillover effect, either solidifying Trump’s lead or destabilizing his prospects.
March 5, 2024: Super Tuesday contests in 14 states including delegate-rich California and Texas. The lineup includes some states that were holdouts against Trump in 2016 — including Maine, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Minnesota — offering potential opportunity for Trump’s rivals.
March 25, 2024: Trump’s trial is scheduled to begin in Manhattan in Bragg’s hush payments case.
May 20, 2024: Trump’s trial is scheduled to begin in classified documents case in Miami.
