Even before the Colorado Supreme Court deemed him ineligible in this state, Donald Trump, presidential candidate, was already preparing to experience a year 2024 that was extraordinary in every way.
Here is an overview of the former Republican president’s schedule, between elections, trials and the Republican convention.
The septuagenarian’s crazy year will likely begin with a decision from the United States Supreme Court, which Donald Trump is preparing to take, on his eligibility in the state of Colorado.
Before the ex-leader flew to Iowa. The small Midwestern state will hold the first Republican primaries of 2024 on January 15, a cycle that could stretch until June, giving it oversized weight in the American elections.
The state of New Hampshire, bordering Canada, will hold its poll the following week, on January 23.
Criminally charged four times in less than six months, Donald Trump nevertheless crushes all competition in the race for the Republican nomination.
The ex-president is currently around 63% in opinion polls according to the aggregator RealClearPolitics, far ahead of the runner-up, Ron DeSantis, at 12%.
Will the Republican billionaire maintain such a lead after the start of his trials?
A judge has set March 4 as the date of her trial in Washington for her electoral pressure in 2020, the day before one of the biggest deadlines in the Republican primaries: “Super Tuesday”.

A fourth trial cannot be ruled out this year: Donald Trump is also being prosecuted in Georgia, where his already famous mug shot was taken.
After more than a year of an intense and very acrimonious campaign, the Republican Party will officially name its presidential candidate during its convention in mid-July in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Already with the official support of the Democratic Party, outgoing President Joe Biden should, barring any major surprises, be designated in August in Chicago as the official candidate of his party.
Organized every four years a few months before the election, these two high political masses mark the official kick-off of the campaign between the two parties. Will Donald Trump have kept a strong enough hold on the Republicans to be inducted?
Tens of millions of American voters will go to the polls on November 5 to choose the next tenant of the White House.
Will the United States therefore witness a remake of the 2020 presidential election, between Donald Trump and Joe Biden?
