Trump immunity ruling set to loom over Biden debate

The upcoming Supreme Court decision on former President Trump’s immunity from prosecution is set to influence his debate with President Biden this week.

The ruling will determine whether Trump can be prosecuted for actions during his presidency, potentially affecting his ongoing criminal trials.

Scheduled to be announced before the debate, the decision could sway discussions on Thursday’s CNN event, where Trump’s legal challenges are expected to be a focal point.

The Supreme Court’s possible rulings on Wednesday or Thursday will be crucial; if delayed, a decision might arrive on Friday or early next week due to pending landmark cases, The Hill has reported.

Central to Trump’s case are federal charges related to the 2020 election, questioning whether he retains immunity for official acts as a former president while campaigning for the 2024 election.
