Biden campaign staffers in the Wilmington headquarters reportedly erupted in cheers as news of the verdict, which found former President Trump guilty on all counts, reached the public Thursday evening, ABC's White House correspondent Mary Bruce reported.
Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain,' Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said. But Tyler emphasized that '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.
He argued that 'a second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence – and the American people will reject it this November.' Trump, speaking to cameras following the verdict, called it 'disgraceful,' charged that the trial was 'rigged.' and said the 'real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people,' as he pointed to his presidential election rematch with Biden.
