July 26, 2024- Washington, D.C. — On Thursday, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) introduced the "Prevention of Election Interference Act of 2024," which would block any major party presidential candidate from being sentenced in court if it interferes with their ability to campaign. The legislation, if enacted, would apply to the Republican and Democrat nominees for President and Vice President only 120 days prior to the general election and 60 days after the general election.

"Presidential candidates should have the right to campaign without interference, regardless of their party affiliation! Over the past two years, state officials and unelected bureaucrats have been keeping President Trump tied up in court with dubious charges, hindering his ability to campaign nationwide. President Trump deserves the ability to campaign without undue interference by federal or state officials,” said Congressman Gaetz.
