Donald Trump’s trial in New York has been the center of political news for weeks. The verdict is out: Trump is guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a scheme to pay Stormi Daniels to keep their affair a secret during the 2016 election.
It didn’t take long for Joe Biden to respond. The current president took to Twitter with a brief statement: “There’s only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box,” along with a link to donate to his campaign. This was just part of a longer statement he later posted on Instagram. “In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law,” the statement began. It continued to condemn Trump for his repeated legal violations and warned that a second term for Trump would bring chaos.
DJ Akademiks also had his say, claiming that Trump’s guilty verdict made him more inclined to vote for the former president. This sparked a lot of backlash from fans and ignited debate on social media. Many believe the trial might actually boost Trump’s popularity among his base.
The reactions to Trump’s guilty verdict have been swift and polarizing. With the upcoming election heating up, the impact of this verdict on Trump’s campaign remains to be seen.
