On Thursday, politicians across the reliably-blue Bay Area heralded the unprecedented nature of Thursday’s verdict, while suggesting that Trump was facing a reckoning years in the making.
Former President Donald Trump appears at Manhattan criminal court during jury deliberations in his criminal hush money trial in New York, Thursday, May 30, 2024. against former President Donald Trump on Thursday were met with a mix of shock, elation and sober reflection by politicians and political organizations across the Bay Area and Northern California.
“Donald Trump is a convicted felon,” tweeted U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, an East Bay Democrat. “This verdict is not a win for any single person. It’s a win for an idea. The idea that we all follow the same rules. The rule of law won today.” The stunning verdict — the first of its kind in the nation’s history — came after a New York jury deliberated for 9.5 hours; the jurors had heard weeks of testimony over whether the former president falsified tax records in a scheme to illegally influence the results of the 2016 presidential election.
“If they can do this to the leading presidential candidate, they can do it to any of us,” Dhillon tweeted. “It should be overturned on appeal and I’m voting TRUMP! Are you with me?”
