2024 Election Winner Trump Receives Unconditional Discharge as Democrats' Lawfare Aimed to Brand Him Felon

Donald Trump, who won the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, received an unconditional discharge following a sentencing related to a case pursued by Democrats, which some have labeled as 'lawfare.' New York prosecutor Joshua Steinglass stated that the sentencing aimed to 'cement Trump's status as a convicted felon.' Despite these efforts, Trump's victory in the election has been attributed by some to the backlash against these legal actions, suggesting that the Democrats' strategy backfired, leading to Trump's mandate and his upcoming inauguration in 10 days.
