Democrats in and around the White House reacted to the unprecedented decision.
Just minutes after a New York jury found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trail, President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign stressed that “no one is above the law,” while continuing to assert the importance of beating Trump not just in the court of law but in the court of public opinion as well.
Vice President Harris — who was aboard Air Force Two en route to Los Angeles when the jury read the verdict — has not publicly commented on the decision as of Thursday night. Still, President Biden’s silence on the issue hasn’t stopped Trump from trying to claim political interference. Trump’s team seized, for example, on a press conference organized by the Biden campaign outside the New York courthouse Tuesday, during which several officers involved in the response to the Jan. 6 insurrection and the actor Robert De Niro highlighted the ongoing trial.
Democratic strategists who spoke with Scripps News, meanwhile, praised the Biden campaign’s approach to the case thus far, suggesting that the news of Trump’s unprecedented conviction will remain top-of-mind for voters whether or not President Biden addresses it directly.
