LOUISIANA DEMOCRATIC PARTY STATEMENT ON DONALD TRUMP’S CONVICTION
Chair Gaines: Party is “hard at work doing our part to defeat Trump”

BATON ROUGE, LA — Following Thursday’s news surrounding the jury verdict of Donald Trump’s hush money trial, Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Randal Gaines today issued the following statement: 

“Trump’s guilty verdicts on all 34 felony counts by jurors in New York State Court demonstrate that no one person, regardless of status or former elected position, is above the requirements of obeying the law. 

The untenable, unjustifiable, and unreasonable defenses that have been offered by Trump’s supporters further denote that his MAGA republican base has not only completely lost their moral compass in pursuit of political power, they are willing to compromise and forego the rule of law. 

The only way to defeat Trump is at the ballot box. Louisiana Democrats are hard at work doing our part to ensure Trump never returns to office again.”
