MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING, THANK YOU, MICHAEL GEORGE. >>> TODAY'S HISTORIC VERDICT IS BRINGING MIXED REACTION AMONG AMERICANS INCLUDING HERE IN THE BAY AREA. WE SPENT THE DAY TALKING TO LOCAL RESIDENTS AND KELSI, A MIXED REACTION. I KNOW YOU WERE ACROSS THE BAY AREA AND YOU GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT REACTIONS FROM PEOPLE, WHAT DID THEY HAVE TO SAY? I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE NOT SURPRISED. WE WENT OUT AND SPOKE TO PEOPLE ACROSS THE BAY TO ENGAGE THEIR REACTION ON THIS HISTORIC CONVICTION. AS I SAID WE GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS, EVERYONE THAT WE SPOKE WITH HAD A STRONG OPINION ON THIS TOPIC. IN THE HOURS THEY FOUND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP GUILTY VOTER HIS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT IT I AM EXCITED. DESERVES THEM RIGHT. I GO AS FAR AS TO SAY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVERYONE VOTED FOR HIM CONVICTED FOR AIDING AND ABETTING. THE DEMOCRAT, WHAT BIDEN IS DOING TO OUR COUNTRY. IT IS SHAMEFUL. >> Reporter: MANY PEOPLE IN SAN FRANCISCO TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE TRIAL CLOSELY OVER THE LAST SIX WEEKS. SOME WERE SURPRISED AT HOW QUICKLY THE JURY CAME TO A VERDICT. >> IT WAS SO QUICK. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY CAME TO THEIR DECISION QUICKLY. THEY HAD THE INFORMATION THEY NEEDED. >> GUILTY. GOT TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES NOW. >> Reporter: OVER IN THE EAST BAY, VOTERS ALSO KEPT A CLOSE EYE ON THE TRIAL. ONE TRUMP SUPPORTER WE SPOKE WITH THERE TOLD US THE VERDICT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE HOW HE VOTES IN NOVEMBER. >> I THINK IT IS FRAUDULENT AND I THINK IT WILL HELP HIM GET VOTES. THEY SAY TALK ABOUT ME BAD THAT IS GOOD, TALK ABOUT ME GOOD THAT IS GOOD. IT IS A MARKETING TACTIC. I HOPE IT HELPS HIM OUT. I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM NO MATTER WHAT. >> Reporter: WE CAUGHT UP WITH ANOTHER VOTER WHO IS SUPPORTING PRESIDENT BIDEN IN THE ELECTION. HOPES TRUMP'S CONVICTION WILL BOOST SUPPORT FOR BIDEN. >> I THINK IF HE JUST KEEPS CONTINUING TO BE CONSISTENT AND CONTINUE ON WITH HIS ORIGINAL MISSION STATEMENT. HE HAD A CAMPAIGN ABOUT LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS WHEN HE RAN LAST TIME. I THINK IF HE KEEPS BRINGING HIS LIGHT THEN I THINK HE WILL BE RE-ELECTED. >> NO COMMENT. >> MANY PEOPLE TOLD US THEY BELIEVE A MAJORITY OF VOTERS ARE ALREADY LOCKED IN ON THEIR CANDIDATE OF CHOICE. THEY DON'T THINK THAT THESE FELONY CONVICTIONS WILL ACTUALLY HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON WHO CHOOSES TO SUPPORT TRUMP AND WHO DOESN'T. >> AT THIS POINT I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF ANYTHING WOULD HELP OR HURT HIM. I THINK PEOPLE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS ABOUT HIM. I THINK HIS SUPPORTERS CAN NOT BE SWAYED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. >> YOU KNOW, THAT REALLY SEEMS TO BE THE BIG QUESTION NOW MOVING FORWARD. HOW WILL THIS CONVICTION IMPACT VOTERS IN NOVEMBER? NOW, AS YOU HEARD IN THAT PIECE MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT WHILE THIS IS A HISTORIC CONVICTION IT MAY NOT SWAY WHAT THEY CHOOSE TO DO ON THE ELECTION BALLOT. >> THE POLITICAL ANALYSTS SOMETIMES UNDERESTIMATED THE DURABILITY OF THE APPEAL OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT AMONG HIS SUPPORTERS. >> REALLY, ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE SPOKE WITH WHO TOLD US THEY WERE TRUMP SUPPORTERS SAID THAT CONVICTION WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. THEY PLAN ON VOTING FOR HIM IN NOVEMBER. >> NOT ENTIRELY SURPRISED AT THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GETTING THOSE OPINIONS. >> SURE THING. >>> SO, ANNE MAKOVEK HAS BEEN GETTING FRACTION SOME OF THE POLITICAL FIGURES IN THE BAY AREA. >> Reporter: AS YOU CAN IMAGINE IT IS ALL PRETTY MUCH ALONG PARTY LINES. WE HEARD TODAY FROM FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI, ONE OF TRUMP'S CRITICS SAYING THIS MOMENT IS SOBER. TRIAL BY A JURY OF FEARS IS DEMOCRACY THAT MUST BE RESPECTED. EAST BAY CONGRESSMAN SAYING ON X TRUMP IS A CONVICTED FELON. THIS VERDICT IS NOT A WIN FOR ANY SINGLE PERSON IT IS A WIN FOR AN IDEA. AN IDEA THAT WE ALL FOLLOW THE RULES, THE RULE OF LAW WON TODAY. >>> SAN FRANCISCO CHOO SAYING TRUMP DISREGARDED THE RULE OF LAW BUT TODAY THE JURY SENT A MESSAGE NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. VOTERS MUST WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT TRUMP IS A CONVICTED FELON AND UNFIT FOR OFFICE. ALSO BEEN SPEAKING TO SOME OF THE CHAIRS OF SOME OF THE BAY AREA COUNTY'S REPUBLICAN PARTIES REITERATING WHAT WE HEARD FROM TRUMP HIMSELF THAT THIS WAS A POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CRIMINAL PROSECUTION >> THIS IS A BAD LOOK FOR THE COUNTRY. WE REPRESENT OURSELVES AS A PARAGON OF A REPUBLIC AND DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD AND TODAY WE REALLY SHOWED WE ARE SOMETHING OTHER THAN THAT. >> I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE THIS TYPE OF PROSECUTION TAKEN ON AGAINST AN EX-DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT, EITHER. IT IS JUST, IT IS A SAD DAY FOR OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. >> THE FORMER CHAIR OF THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN PARTY SAYS IN 35 YEARS AS AN ATTORNEY I HAVE NEVER SEEN A JUDGE ACT SO FAR OUTSIDE OF THE LAW AS THIS JUDGE DID. AS A HISTORIAN I CAN SAY IT IS LIKELY THIS PERIOD WILL BE VIE
