Biden’s campaign on Thursday afternoon released a statement, noting that the guilty verdict against Donald Trump showed that “no one is above the law.”
“Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. But today’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality. There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president,” Michael Tyler, Biden 2024 Campaign Communications Director, wrote in a statement.
“The threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater,” Tyler wrote. “He is running an increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator ‘on day one,’ and calling for our Constitution to be ‘terminated’ so he can regain and keep power. A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms, and fomenting political violence — and the American people will reject it this November.”
A Manhattan jury on Thursday afternoon convicted ex US President Donald Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money criminal trial, making him the first president in US history to be found guilty of a felony.
We’ll keep fighting, we’ll fight till the end, and we’ll win, because our country’s gone to hell,” Trump said, adding “we don’t have the same country anymore, we have a divided mess.
“I’m a very innocent man. We will fight for our Constitution. This is long from over,” he said outside the Manhattan courtroom.
