Donald Trump will likely face Kamala Harris in the 2024 race for the White House after an eventful start to the campaign.
Joe Biden pulled out of the race after intense pressure after his disastrous first debate with Trump.
The first TV debate between Ms Harris and Trump is due to take place on September 10, a few days before states with the longest in-person polling periods open for early voting.
But, the 2024 timetable is also complicated by the blizzard of litigation faced by Mr Trump, who has had to juggle campaigning with a series of court appearances.
Earlier this year, the former president was convicted on all 34 charges of falsifying business records in the first of four separate criminal cases he is facing.
Mr Trump’s conviction in New York has plunged the US into uncharted legal territory and has threatened to overshadow the height of the election campaign.
The dates for the remaining three trials have been rearranged multiple times and it is possible that some or all of them will not have started by election day in November.
Here The Telegraph gives you a comprehensive overview of all the key dates coming up.
