According to experts, after the results of the 2024 election are announced, former US President Donald Trump will face one of two fates: a return to the Oval Office or years of criminal trial and possibly imprisonment, CBS News reports.

Perhaps no candidate in US history has faced such serious personal challenges on Election Day. Trump's third campaign for the presidency ran alongside four criminal cases against him - two for persistent disruptions, one for dismissal and one that resulted in a 34-count felony conviction, which he intends to appeal. Further developments may depend on whether Trump is elected.
