Donald Trump has become the first president in US history to be convicted of a crime.
He was found guilty with a hush money payment to a porn star and falsifying business records to hid that from voters for the 2016 election.
The BBC spoke to independent voters and some Republicans.
The BBC asked them if his conviction will sway how they vote.
A lifelong Republican said,
I'm not a big Trump fan,but I do think this judge had a bias.
And the jury was led to a foregone conclusion.
I ‘ve clearly been agonising over my choice,but I’m definitely not voting for Biden.
Seeing Biden’s policies and the way he's conducting himself, I don't think he's got the stamina or the ability to do the job for very much longer.
The border has been blown wide open. The economy just stinks.
I guess,
This voter’s reaction must be typical of Republicans or independent voters.
Trump now faces five upcoming trials
including the most important trial on charges of storming the Capitol.
In the middle of a presidential election, this trial on a minor crime is undoubtedly a political trial.
Even some Democrats acknowledge that.
Almost people believe Trump paid hush money and falsified the record.
However this ruling might not change the minds of many voters in a tight race with President this November.
In addition Major media including ABC and PBS reported this ruling extensively and repeatedly.
This also might has created doubt and resentment among Republicans and independent voters.
Biden is indecisive and ambiguous.
His decision on the Ukraine and Israel issues is not consistent.
Biden also hasn’t tackled the border issue seriously.
I don't think the American people would choose Biden.
Democrats should have chosen another candidate.
