The 2024 election will now be a contest over the rule of law.
Mr Donald Trump now joins his former campaign manager, senior political adviser, chief White House strategist and national security adviser as a convicted criminal.
To say that American society is a hung jury would be an understatement. Within minutes of the verdict, senior Republicans rushed to condemn the trial as a politically motivated sham and a travesty of justice. Democrats were commensurately jubilant that justice had been served and that no man is above the law.
Given the strength of the May 30 verdict, a Trump prison sentence cannot be ruled out. Even the maximum four-year term would not debar him from running for America’s highest office. But as a felon, he will be unable to vote. Democrats should nevertheless be wary of pocketing a legal verdict as a political win. It is hard to forget the blanket of relief that spread among Democrats shortly before the 2016 election when Trump was revealed on tape to have boasted about grabbing women’s private parts. The phrase “game over” kept recurring. We know what happened next.
