Kerry Washington Calls for Removing the Felony Box From Job Applications if Trump Can Run For President as a Felon

Kerry Washington suggests removing the felony box from job applications, questioning how Donald Trump, convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records, can still run for president. She expressed her changing views on the justice system and believes if a felon can run for president, they should also be able to vote.

Washington highlighted the irony of Governor Ron DeSantis trying to restrict voting rights in Florida while Trump may not be able to vote in his home state.

Washington’s upcoming project is the second season of Hulu’s “UnPrisoned,” where she portrays a therapist affected by her father’s release from prison, inspired by creator Tracy McMillan’s life.
