If it doesn’t (and God help America if it doesn’t - on a plain reading of the constitution, the case is pretty clear cut. He certainly gave succour to insurrectionists even if one accepts - which I don’t - he didn’t directly involve himself), then being in jail doesn’t actually bar him from running for office. Though I doubt even America is mad enough to elect a president from behind bars.
You would think then that the elders of the Republican Party would see Trump as too high risk a candidate and seek to ensure he could not become their Presidential candidate. This assumes that such elders do exist and there is a mechanism to stop him.
