[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The 2024 race to be President of the United States has just caught fire. Thursday's conviction of Donald Trump on 34 criminal counts in a hush-money trial held in a Manhattan court has only further divided an already deeply polarised country.
President Biden and Trump have long had a visceral loathing of each other. The guilty verdicts will only exacerbate their mutual hate. This will be the most bitterly fought presidential contest in modern American history.
But it is more than an American story. It has serious implications for the rest of the world too, especially the remaining embattled democracies, most of whom — including Britain — still depend on the U.S. for their ultimate security. |
