Trump was convicted on state, not federal charges. Biden cannot pardon Trump.
Indeed. BUT, ever watch the movie Lincoln? The history of "legal" ways around the constitution have been practiced since the times of Abraham Lincoln and it was displayed in that movie when Lincoln himself (being a full practiced lawyer) convinced George Yeaman with a little pressure to vote for the 13th amendment. And Yeaman was a Democrat unlike Lincoln! For Biden, it would be easier since the governor of NY is a democrat.
That loophole (if you will) to circumvent the laws of the constitution has been practiced through the following century + on an unimaginable scale between those who hold higher power than others but don't have the authority that the latter does to get what they want.
All Biden needs to do is make the governor of NY pardon Trump and take all the credit for it. This has been circulating in the depths of the post Trump conviction news. Check it out.

And this:
Once he does that, It'll be as if he pardoned Trump himself and takes all the credit for it; in return gets all the undecided votes.
