Response to President Trump Being Found Guilty
Many of you are likely aware that last week Former President Trump was found guilty on 34 counts relating to falsifying business records in an effort to conceal a sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels.
We are providing the Biden Harris Campaign’s statement on this issue (above) and encourage sticking to this message when discussing the topic. This case was about the rule of law, and no one being above it.
As for the political impact, it should serve as yet another reminder that Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States.
