MSNBC contributor Ruth Ben-Ghiat wrote, "This is democracy in action. More soon."

"Jury finds Trump guilty on all 34 counts. Justice is served," MSNBC legal analyst Barb McQuade agreed.

"I am picturing the opening scene from Superman, where the council pronounces Zod and his cronies ‘GUILTY’ one by one and sentence them to the flying mirror thing," ABC legal correspondent Asha Rangappa joked.
