President Biden has yet to speak out publicly on Donald Trump's verdict. Following the delivery of the verdict, the Biden campaign took to Twitter, emphasizing that the only way to defeat Donald Trump is at the ballot box. The White House has maintained a subdued approach, refraining from extensive commentary on the trial.
The campaign released a statement asserting that Trump, regardless of his conviction, will be the Republican nominee for president. They framed Trump as a threat to democracy and urged supporters to contribute to the campaign to prevent his return to the White House.
While the White House Council spokesperson offered a brief statement respecting the rule of law, the administration has not provided further comments on the matter. President Biden, who was commemorating the ninth anniversary of his son's death yesterday, is expected to address the issue as he leaves Delaware and hosts the Kansas City Chiefs later today.
Reporters are likely to question President Biden about the verdict, presenting an opportunity for him to deliver formal remarks on the situation. The campaign has taken the lead in responding to the verdict, with the President's schedule offering multiple opportunities for him to address the issue directly.
