President Joe Biden has publicly referred to Donald Trump as a 'convicted felon' for the first time, marking a significant moment in the 2024 presidential election. This comes after Trump became the first former U.S. president and major-party presumptive nominee to be found guilty of a felony. Biden's remarks were made during a fundraiser in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he emphasized the unprecedented nature of Trump's criminal conviction and its implications for his presidential candidacy. The conviction has sparked a range of reactions, with some viewing it as an overreach while others see it as a standard legal outcome. Trump's strategy of denying all charges could potentially harm him during sentencing. The Palm Beach Post has reported a variety of views from its readers on the conviction, and LisaDNews has also covered the story.
