SCOTUS can’t do shit for state charges. Doesn’t mean they won’t try.
However, His legal team will argue literally any punishment is too harsh and appeal the NY state charges, which will be ganted because he was a president and has money. Then it will be delayed past the election and not natter anyway because this system is not made to resist willful destruction by those entrusted to protect it.
They cannot currently cancel state charges, but the GOP is trying to change that. It is one of a raft of measures underway. Some are truely frightening, such as using Red State National Guard troops against non-compliant Blue States. Check out Project 2025 - the Republicans are even trying to hide their planned dictatorship.
That’s not how Federalism works. The President is not a member of any state government, and has no immunity from state crimes. There’s no way to move this case from state court to federal.
The Constitution can’t be changed that easily. There’s no reason for the State of New York to give up the case, even if it were possible to do. And there’s no way to compel it, considering the issue is NY State law.

There’s move afoot by the GOP to get any state charges against the president to be elevated to the Federal court.
Guess who can pardon himself or have federal charges dropped?

Unless you change the laws to say you can! Which was the point of the above comment.
