Can a felon run for president in Kentucky?

• Trump was convicted on all 34 counts in a criminal hush money trial in New York on Thursday.
• Trump can still run for president in Kentucky.
• Trump's sentencing hearing will be held on July 11.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump's conviction on all 34 counts in a criminal hush money trial Thursday in New York raises a number of questions about his campaign for the White House.

Will the now-convicted felon be able to run for office? Will he succeed in his effort to win back the presidency ? 

Here’s where Trump stands in Kentucky: 

In short, yes. That’s because the rules around running for president are governed by federal law.

Prep for the polls: See who is running for president and compare where they stand on key issues in our Voter Guide

The U.S. Constitution has only three requirements for the president . The president must: 

• Be a natural-born citizen of the United States 
• Be at least 35 years old 
• Have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years

Since he meets those requirements, if Trump wins the presidency, he could still serve. In fact, he would not be the first presidential candidate with a felony record to make a bid.

For example, over a century ago, socialist candidate Eugene Debs ran for president from prison after conviction on a sedition charge.

Will Donald Trump have to campaign from prison?

It’s possible Trump could serve prison time, but not likely anytime soon.

Trump’s  sentencing hearing will be held July 11 .

Each of the felonies for which he was convicted carries a sentence of up to four years. New York state has a 20-year cap on sentences for the types of felonies Trump was convicted of. 

However, it’s unlikely Trump would serve such a long sentence. It’s far more likely his sentence would be  under four years and possibly much shorter , some experts say. 

Others think Trump is  more likely to face probation than prison time . 

And even if sentenced to prison, Trump’s time there will likely be delayed by an  appeal of his conviction . 

Will Trump campaign in Kentucky?

It's not yet clear exactly what Trump's schedule will be in the aftermath of his conviction.

The six-week New York trial stymied but did not stop his campaign activities, which included a Kentucky jaunt.

Earlier this month, Trump flew into the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport to  attend a $50,000-a-plate fundraising lunch that featured Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, among others . 

He also attended a  fundraising dinner in Lexington . 

Trump went on to  handily win Kentucky's Republican presidential primary , earning about 85% of the vote. 

News of the verdict spurred Kentucky Republicans to rally around Trump. Many said that they are confident Trump will win the presidency in November. 

"It won't stop me and millions of Americans from acquitting the President of these politically motivated charges and sending him back to the White House in November," said U.S. Rep. Andy Barr, a Republican who represents the area around Lexington. 

Can a felon run for state office in Kentucky? 

Typically, felons cannot run for state office in Kentucky, said Michon Lindstrom, the director of communications for the Secretary of State’s office. That’s because to run for office in Kentucky, you  must be a registered voter . 

People who are incarcerated, whether for a felony or a misdemeanor, are not allowed to vote in Kentucky, according to the state’s Civil Rights Restoration website .

After completing a sentence, however, a convicted felon could qualify to vote again and therefore regain the ability to run for office. That's because back in 2019, Gov. Andy Beshear issued an executive order restoring voting rights to people convicted of many felonies who had completed their sentences.

Some felonies, like treason, strangulation, human trafficking and others, were excluded from the restoration of voting rights. And anyone who has been convicted since Beshear's executive order is also excluded, said Lindstorm.

People who have been convicted of felonies but who have been pardoned can also vote and run for office, Lindstrom said. 

The restoration rules do not apply to people convicted of felonies in federal or non-Kentucky courts. They typically cannot vote in Kentucky unless the successfully petition the governor for restoration of their voting rights, according to the state’s Civil Rights Restoration website .
