Joe Biden has broken his silence following Donald Trump’s guilty verdict on Thursday afternoon that saw the former president become a convicted felon.

The verdict of the trial, which began on April 15, was delivered by Judge Juan Merchan. Biden responded to this news with a brief social media post, shortly after the verdict was delivered.

It read: “There’s only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box. Donate to our campaign today.”

While the current US president didn’t rub salt into the wounds, the brief message was quite a timely one. It is unlikely that Biden will be too animated, as he is currently in Delaware paying tribute to his son Beau with the rest of his family.

Biden’s son died on this day (May 30th 2015) nine years ago, and his family tend to spend this time of year with each other paying tribute to Beau.

A shell-shocked Trump spoke after the verdict, saying: “I’m a very innocent man…This was a rigged, disgraceful trial…This was done by the Biden administration in order to hurt a political opponent. It’s a disgrace, and we’ll keep fighting. Our country has gone to hell. We’re a nation in decline.

“This was a rigged decision right from day one, with a conflicted judge who should never have been allowed to judge this case…The real verdict is in November.”
