After the guilty verdict, Florida state Sen. Jason Pizzo said former President Donald Trump 'can't vote for himself in the November election.'
The claim: Former President and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump ’s felony conviction in New York raised questions about what comes next. Trump can still run for president, but claims about his voting eligibility followed the May 30 verdict. 'Trump can’t vote for himself in the November election,' Florida state Sen. Jason Pizzo , D- Sunny Isles Beach , wrote on X after the verdict. 'He can thank Florida Republican s for that.' PolitiFact ruling: Mostly False.
Pizzo's statement holds true for someone convicted of a felony in Florida or in federal court — but Trump was convicted in state court in New York,' Blair Bowie, director of the Restore Your Vote program at the Campaign Legal Center, told PolitiFact. 'Trump will not lose his right to vote in this case unless he is in prison on Election Day.' States pass laws about whether people convicted of felonies lose their voting rights and if so, how they can regain them.
