Trump's Guilty Verdict Sparks GOP Defense and Biden Fundraising

TL;DR
Following Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in a hush money case, Republicans quickly rallied to his defense, framing the verdict as politically motivated and emphasizing the importance of the 2024 election. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden's campaign used the verdict to highlight the stakes of the upcoming election and to fundraise, asserting that the only way to keep Trump out of office is through the ballot box. The case has intensified partisan divisions, with Democrats largely supporting the legal process and Republicans condemning it as a weaponization of the justice system.
