Democrats are hungry to tell voters that Donald Trump’s conviction makes him unfit for office; Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Singapore for the Shangri-La Dialogue. Follow updates here.
Washington | Now that former president Donald Trump is a convicted criminal, the Democratic Party finds itself wrestling with a choice that will help define this year’s presidential race: should it try to push his felonies to the centre of the election? The route Democrats take may determine not only President Joe Biden’s fortunes but also, they say, the future of American democracy.
But Biden, trying to avoid fuelling false claims that he is orchestrating Trump’s criminal cases, took a restrained tone as he addressed the conviction at the White House on Friday. He said the verdict demonstrated the strength of the American judicial system and stressed he had nothing to do with the prosecution, as Trump has argued without merit. The ramifications of Trump’s conviction for the 2024 campaign remain unknown.
