Congress remains in recess but Republicans wasted no time in blasting Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony charges. Meanwhile, Democrats defended the verdict saying the justice system worked. This verdict is likely to have enormous impact on the presidential race and beyond. GOP lawmakers blasted the trial as a thinly veiled effort to meddle in Trump's bid to return the White House. Many calling it a "shameful day for America". Moments after the verdict, House Speaker Mike Johnson posted a statement on X stating in part, "The weaponization of our justice system has been a hallmark of the Biden Administration, and the decision today is further evidence that Democrats will stop at nothing to silence dissent and crush their political opponents." Others posted social media videos and hit the talk shows to show their disapproval, saying losing confidence in the justice system cannot stop from voting for change. And Democrats also took to X.
