I don’t see why the election should have anything to do with the sentencing, or when it takes place. This was interference in the 2016 election (and calling it his “hush money” trial is a great way for the media to “both sides” this whole thing). He should be sentenced now, and if that means he continues his run for office from a jail cell waiting on his appeal it should have been expected (and is of course why he announced so early). If he wins then we have just moved the goal posts to sentencing a running candidate to sentencing the President-elect, which you know the Supreme Court is going to do absolutely everything in their power to say he is then immune to all sentencing. He then becomes a dictator, gets all his cases removed, and puts his flying monkeys into motion for retribution and Project 2025.
The whole system being afraid to hold Trump accountable for crimes (in this case he has already been found guilty of them), makes this more political by trying to maintain this nonsense of dealing with everything he does in bad faith with kid gloves to maintain a “non-political” look. He should be treated like any other citizen found guilty of 34 felonies, his political life should play no part in his sentencing, and the fact that is not the case just goes to show how we have a 2 tier justice system.
