Felons absolutely can run for office. The reason Trump can't legally hold public office is because he engaged in insurrection.

He didn't lead, he merely incited... then retired to the Oval Office break room to pound Diet Cokes and watch the chaos he caused unfold on TV.

Before all the cases got thrown out, it sounded like he and those working for him actively bussed in certain individuals and connected them to people to give tours of the building so they would know where to go. So just giving the inciting speech wasn't all there was to it, at least from what I saw of the evidence presented before it was killed.
