President Biden is expected to depart for the White House shortly, with the possibility of providing a reaction to recent events. Initially, there were plans for the president to make a statement regardless of the verdict, but those plans seem to have changed. The White House Counsel's Office has stated that they respect the rule of law and have refrained from further comments.
The Biden campaign has been active in fundraising efforts following recent developments, cautioning that Trump supporters are energized by the verdict. Despite reports suggesting a forceful response from the president, sources indicate that Biden may opt for a more subdued approach to avoid fueling certain narratives.
There have been speculations about President Biden's potential response to the conviction and whether he will address his son Hunter's upcoming trial on felony charges in June. Despite these legal challenges, Biden has previously capitalized on Trump's legal troubles in his campaign messaging.
Campaign sources indicate that Biden's overarching message will continue to portray Trump as a threat to democracy and unfit for the presidency. They hope that the recent events will engage previously disinterested voters in the upcoming election.
