How will Donald Trump's guilty verdict hit his reelection bid? Is his political fallout here?
NEW YORK – Former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign is entering an unprecedented phase in American political history as he becomes the first major party nominee to be convicted of a crime. Trump must now convince Americans he deserves a second term in the White House after a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 felony counts that were tied to falsifying business records as part of a plan to influence the 2016 presidential election. However, the Republican is expected to take a familiar approach: Attacking the legal system."This was a rigged decision, right from day one," Trump told reporters at the courthouse on Thursday less than an hour after being found guilty and echoing past comments the Republican has made designed to brace voters for the possibility of a guilty verdict. Expect that effort to continue now that a jury has found the former president guilty, while supporters of President Joe Biden will likely argue that the unprecedented verdict proves Trump is unfit for another four-year term.
So what comes after Trump's historic conviction? Sentencing will come on July 11, just four days before the start of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee where Trump is set to accept the Republican presidential nomination. But don't expect that to stop Trump and his campaign from holding rallies and fundraisers, giving the former president more chances to argue that the judge and prosecutors played politics in pursuing the hush money case against him.
The presumptive Republican nominee will also be preparing for a couple of important events. There's a June 27 debate with Biden hosted by CNN in Atlanta, as well as the decision on selecting a running mate. The former president has said he will probably announce his pick at the Republican convention, scheduled for July 15-18 in Milwaukee. In the meantime, pollsters associated with Trump and Biden will pore over data to assess how voters react to the first-ever conviction of a former president and current presidential candidate. One thing Trump likely won't have to worry about anytime soon: Prison. He plans to appeal the verdict, and that process could drag out for years.
The coming campaign will be directed at a relatively small number of voters: Independents who are on the fence between Trump and Biden. Campaign officials and independent pollsters have said for months that the verdict will have no impact on Trump partisans; nor will it affect solid Biden voters. Everybody else? No one really knows how they will react to a convicted felon running for president. After all, it's never happened. But even a small percentage turning away from Trump could make a difference in tightly contested battleground states like Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. At the same time, Trump has suggested that even a guilty verdict could help him because "the people of the country see this as a rigged deal." It's a pitch that still has to play out, but the trial itself does not seem to have hurt Trump much. The former president is leading Biden slightly in many polls nationwide and in battleground states, although most of those leads are within margins of error.
During the six-week trial, Trump was able to campaign and do fundraisers on Wednesday, the court's off-day, and on weekends. Now look for him to work on the campaign just about every day of the week. Trump will also have to contend with a more aggressive Biden campaign, which is relishing the idea of running against the former president following a conviction. During the trial, Biden officials said they don't plan to focus exclusively on the guilty verdict, but the full panoply of allegations against Trump.
The former president has been indicted in three other criminal cases, including two accusing him of trying to steal the 2020 race for the White House. In civil court actions, Trump has been found liable for bank fraud and sexual abuse. Michael Taylor, the Biden team's communications director, told reporters they want to talk about "the unique threat that Donald Trump poses to our democracy."
One thing is clear: Trump and Biden's post-conviction playbooks will be put to the test this summer as the candidates both seek a second term. But another unknown is whether Trump will face another trial before Election Day on Nov. 5. The former president is facing federal criminal charges in Washington accusing him of trying to steal the 2020 election from Biden. But that trial was delayed when the Supreme Court agreed to hear Trump's claim that he should be immune from prosecution for presidential actions.
The court is expected to rule around the start of July, and a decision against Trump could mean a trial before Election Day – perhaps in the middle of the fall campaign season.
favorable Trump ruling would almost certainly push the trial past Election Day.
There are also no trial dates scheduled for Trump in the South Florida federal case over allegations the former president mishandled classified information and obstructed justice and the one in Georgia over his attempts targeting the 2020 election results in the Peach State.

Donald Trump sold his soul to the Jewish order in hopes of prosperity. He succeeded, to an extent.
Every proper right-winger, and especially every proper White nationalist, will recognize that under Donald Trump's administration, numerous innocent White nationalists were charged and convicted for nothing. Karma is a bright bitch for Donald. And I will never help him in a 2nd presidency, do it twice.
I will never care about any arguments about how justice was warped in order to convict Donald Trump, when I know his Justice Department attacked and imprisoned, without cause, my White nationalist comrades. You get what you fuckin' deserve.

Donald Trump supporters threaten 'civil war' as US braces for wave of pro-Trump violence
The news of Trump being found guilty in court was met with outrage among his supporters with some even threatening a "civil war". The howls of violence were amplified by far-right figures in the MAGA movement. Far-right podcaster Stew Peters told his hundreds of thousands of followers on Telegram: "Our judicial system has been weaponised... we are left with NO other option but to take matters into our own hands".His followers responded with talk of burning down courthouses and rioting. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk took to X, formerly Twitter, saying: "We must defeat these savages." He also said they had "executed a legal assassination." Conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec described Trump's opponents as "unhumans" while podcaster Tim Pool tweeted: "war." The far-right online forum Patriots.Win was also flooded with threats. "They’re not going to get a Civil War. It’s going to be a very uncivil war," one user wrote. Trump himself called the verdict a “disgrace” and said the trial was rigged, claiming he’s “an innocent man.”
"We’ll keep fighting,” Trump said. “We’ll fight to the end and we’ll win.” Trump supporters have been known to resort to violence, most notably during the now infamous January 6 Capitol Building riots when a mob stormed the government building after Trump urged them to "Fight like hell."
Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts marks the end of the former president’s historic hush money trial, but the fight over the case is far from over. Now comes the sentencing, with the potential for a prison sentence, and a lengthy appellate process. All the while, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee still has to deal with three more criminal cases and a campaign that could see him return to the White House. After more than nine hours of deliberations over two days, the Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records in the case stemming from a hush money payment to adult actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. The conviction doesn’t bar Trump from continuing his campaign or becoming president. He can also still vote for himself in his home state of Florida as long as he stays out of prison in New York state.
Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who serves as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, said in a Fox News Channel interview on Thursday that Trump would do virtual rallies and campaign events if he’s convicted and sentenced to home confinement.
In a deeply divided America, it’s unclear whether Trump’s once-unimaginable criminal conviction will have any impact at all on the election. Leading strategists in both parties believe that Trump still remains well-positioned to defeat President Joe Biden, even as the Republican now faces the prospect of a prison sentence and three separate criminal cases still outstanding.
In the short term, at least, there were immediate signs that the guilty verdict was helping to unify the Republican Party’s disparate factions as GOP officials across the political spectrum rallied behind their embattled presumptive presidential nominee and his campaign reported a flood of fundraising dollars within hours of the verdict.
