Donald Trump has become the first US president to be convicted of a crime in the Stormy Daniel Hush money trial.
On Thursday, the Republican candidate was found guilty on all counts and is now officially a convicted felon, ABC reported.
So can the former president still run for the US presidency, where we will be seeing a rematch between Democratic candidate Joe Biden and Trump?
According to legal experts, Trump can still take part in the election for the White House, as the requirements for a presidential candidate include that the person should be 35 years of age or older, be a "natural born" citizen, and have resided in the US for at least 14 years.
However, the constitution does not say anything about individuals having criminal records.
Despite no legal hindrances, Trump might have a hard time convincing voters to vote for him.
An April survey from CNN found that 24% said they "might reconsider" their support for him if he was convicted.
And a May poll from Emerson College found that 25% of voters said a guilty verdict in New York would make them less likely to vote for Trump.
According to the court order, Trump will remain free and is scheduled to return to court on July 11 for sentencing. However, he plans to appeal his conviction.
