On July 1, 2024, the US Supreme Court ruled that the president, during their term, has absolute immunity for 'official acts' but not for actions beyond the law, potentially delaying Trump's trial in the Capitol riot case challenging election results before the presidential election. This adds uncertainty to the election. Trump celebrated on social media, emphasizing it as a victory for the Constitution and democracy. While partial immunity was granted, concerns were raised about the implications on the US democratic process and presidential powers.
