Biden campaign warns: "Convicted felon or not," Trump could still be president

Washington — The Biden campaign warned that former President Donald Trump's conviction in a "hush-money" case won't keep him from winning another term in the White House. 

"There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president," the campaign's communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement Thursday. 

Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime when a New York jury found he violated the law by falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. He was found guilty on all 34 counts.
