Biden camp warns convicted felon Trump could still get re-elected with ‘unhinged campaign of revenge’

Donald Trump is now a convicted felon — but that won’t stop his “unhinged” bid for another four years in the White House, President Joe Biden’s campaign warned voters Thursday night.

In a statement issued not long after a New York City jury convicted Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records, Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said the verdict against the felonious ex-president vindicated the American system of justice.

“In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law,” he said.

Tyler noted that Trump had operated under a mistaken belief that he “would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain,” but he stressed that the verdict against the ex-president will have no effect on the “simple reality” that will be faced by the American people when they vote for a president in just over five months.

“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 said.

Tyler added that Trump has never been a greater threat to American democracy, citing his “increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution,” his pledge to be a dictator on the first day of his term if elected, and his calls to “terminate” the US constitution as a way for him to “regain and keep power”.

“A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence – and the American people will reject it this November,” he said.

There was no immediate reaction to the unprecedented verdict from Biden, who was with family in Delaware marking the ninth anniversary of his late son Beau Biden’s death from brain cancer.
