Let us suppose that Trump is convicted in the Washington D.C. case and the New York case, but in the latter only of a misdemeanor. (See Conjectures & Arguments, Philosophy & Law: Legal Problems of the New York Criminal Case against Trump.) In the Florida case he benefits either from postponement until after the election from the hand of his appointee Judge Canon or from her Judgment of Acquittal (Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29, which, when granted after the jury is sworn, is unappealable).

Legal Problems of the New York Criminal Case against Trump
