joining us now is san jose state professor melinda jackson. thank you so much for being with us. we're hearing a lot of reaction. a lot of shock that these verdicts came down the way that they did. what was your reaction? yes. well, i was also very surprised that we got a verdict so quickly, um and i think the fact that it was guilty on all 34 counts and that it came out within 2 days. really speaks to the strength of of the case against trump that this jury, you know, is really sending a strong message here that there was no doubt in their minds. um and obviously the political implications of this remains to be seen. but despite all of trump's claims that this was unfair and he's being politically targeted. it is never helpful for someone to be campaigning. as a convicted felon. there is there's really no upside to that. and i think it will make a difference in the minds of some potential. voters who are now going to look at this race differently in light of this verdict. as a surprise to no. 1, the former president came out saying that this was rigged and a disgrace. this whole

joining us now is political science professor melinda jackson from san jose state. professor nice to see you. so in the recount, they added votes to each candidate. where do those newly counted ballots come from? how do they add votes here? yeah. well the everything was rescanned. but in the process of going through all the ballots and double checking everything, in santa clara county, they did find a few, votes that were not counted the first time, and even a couple of ballots that were counted twice because the machine had jammed and things were re scanned. and so you know, normally we're talking about just a handful of ballots here. and normally the margin of victory, you know, is going to be hundred at least. so it doesn't really make a difference. but obviously in this case every single vote matters. and i think it's been a learning opportunity to see, you know, the various ways that that these minor for, errors, you know, human errors as part of this process can occur so that hopefully the process can be fixed so that it doesn't happen next time. and we're con

and joining us to talk about that this morning is doctor melinda, doctor melinda jackson. i'm sorry, professor jackson, you are a professor at san jose state university talking about political science. you guys have been following this for a very long time, and we're focusing on the fallout this morning. how are you expecting this? where will the cards fall? well, i don't think that this guilty verdict is going to have much impact on trump's core supporters. however, we're going into a general election in november, and he really needs to be thinking about what new voters he can attract. i have a hard time believing that this is going to have a positive impact or attract new votes to him, at this point. hum. well, we talked about it in the last hour. you said those who have allied themselves or aligned themselves with with the former president, you don't expect their votes to change. but when it comes to independent voters, those that are kind of on the fence or more moderate republicans, do you think that this will have a significant impact? i think it certainly could. and

jackson says that the decision will not have an impact on former president trump's support. among his base, but it could prove challenging when trying to garner new support from voters. a normal politician would be focusing on. let's just move past this, let's talk about the issues. i think it's unlikely that donald trump will do that. he really does seem to fixate again on his own sense of grievance, and that plays well with his base. but i don't think that's going to win him new votes, which is what he needs to win the election in november. our coverage of the story continues online at nbcbayarea.com. we have an entire section dedicated to it. just click on the donald trump tab on the trending bar and you can read more about the hush money case, as well as more reactions to the verdict and what happens next. brand new details. three young people have been arrested in connection to the shooting at an oakland high school graduation ceremony happened last week in the parking lot of skyline high school. three people were injured in that shooting but are expected to be okay, th

during our 7 p.m. newscast, we spoke with san jose state university political professor melinda jackson about the impact of today's ruling for trump when it comes to potential swing voters and for those voters who may be more moderate, independent, having a felony conviction is going to make them sit up and pay attention, i think. and with mr. trump's sentencing more than a month away, it will be up to a judge to determine if the former president should serve time behind bars. but legal experts aren't sure if that will be the case. however, if the former president does serve time in prison, it could set the stage for another unprecedented moment in american history, more likely would be a suspended sentence and perhaps a significant fine, now, jail, jail or prison is possible, but we won't know until justice mershon tells us in july. pete cerritos nbc, bay area news the biden-harris campaign also releasing a statement today, it reads in part, today's verdict does not change the fact that the american people face a simple reality. there is still only one way to keep donald trump out of t
