Former President Donald Trump has made history as he becomes the first current or former president to go on trial in the nation's history. The trial, which centers around hush-money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, will have significant implications for Trump's potential 2024 election rematch with President Biden.

Trump faces 34 state felony charges, including the accusation of falsifying business records related to the hush-money payments made during the 2016 election. He has consistently denied these allegations and maintains that there was no sexual encounter with Daniels. Despite repeated attempts by Trump's legal team to delay or postpone the trial, it will proceed in a New York City courtroom.

This unprecedented trial marks the first of Trump's four criminal cases to go to trial, including two cases regarding his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents. It may also be the only case to reach a verdict before the November election, making its outcome critical for Trump's future in politics.

The trial is expected to span approximately six to eight weeks, commencing with jury selection on Monday. Proceedings will take place every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, with Wednesday designated as an off day. However, Judge Juan Merchan has indicated a possible adjournment for the start of the Jewish holiday of Passover on April 22. According to New York law, Trump is required to be present throughout the trial, but the judge may allow him some flexibility to attend legal hearings in other ongoing cases.

Though cameras will not be permitted inside the courtroom due to New York State's restrictive laws, still photographs will likely be allowed. Trump's courtroom appearances and press conferences are expected to generate significant media coverage, as he has proven adept at attracting attention and dominating the news cycle.

For Trump, the trial presents an opportunity to cast himself as a victim, a strategy that resonated with GOP voters during the Republican primaries, leading to increased support and fundraising. Even the mug shot taken during a separate case in Georgia has been utilized to rally his supporters and garner substantial donations.

While the trial presents challenges for Trump's campaign schedule, his political orbit is mapping out a plan that includes maximizing Wednesdays (when court is not in session) and weekends for campaign events, including rallies and fundraisers. Senior adviser Chris LaCivita expressed confidence in their campaign's message, operation, and fundraising abilities, asserting that they have what it takes to secure victory on November 5.

The Biden campaign, on the other hand, is prioritizing focusing on the American people and earning their vote, refraining from direct comments on Trump's criminal cases. However, as the trial progresses, Biden allies or surrogates may launch more pointed attacks. In a strategic move, while Trump is in court, President Biden plans to make campaign stops in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state that he narrowly won in 2020, where he will highlight his plans to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

As the trial unfolds, all eyes will be on the courtroom and its potential impact on the upcoming 2024 election rematch between former President Trump and President Biden. Stay updated with the latest developments and exclusive interviews at the Fox News Digital election hub.
