Democrats facing the most competitive Senate elections heading into November have kept relatively quiet about the guilty verdict handed to former President Trump on Thursday as they fight off the potential for Republicans to flip their seats. 

Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Bob Casey, D-Penn., didn't respond to the news of Trump's conviction on Thursday night or Friday morning, while their colleagues on both sides of the aisle sounded off. 

Trump was found guilty by a New York jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records, which he did to cover payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels that had been made after an alleged affair with her.

Montana, Ohio, and Nevada are home to the most competitive Senate races in the country, according to non-partisan political handicapper the Cook Political Report, in which incumbent Democrats contend with a real risk of losing their seats, in addition to the Senate majority. 

"Senator Tester respects the judicial process and believes everyone should be treated fairly before the courts, and voters will have the opportunity to make their voices heard at the ballot box in November," a Tester spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Friday afternoon. 

"Every American, even a former president, is subject to the rule of law and must be held accountable for criminal actions," said Rosen in a statement. "A jury has made its decision, and I respect our legal system and the outcome of this fair and impartial process."

In her own statement, Baldwin told Fox News Digital, "Donald Trump had his day in court. A jury of his peers saw that there was evidence beyond a reasonable doubt he was guilty. No one, including a former president, is above the law."

National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesperson Mike Berg slammed the senators' mild responses, saying in a statement to Fox News Digital, "All of these Democrats endorsed Joe Biden, who is leading this witch hunt, so it's clear they support his legal warfare against President Trump. Democrat Senator Jon Tester even advocated for physical violence against President Trump, so his refusal to embrace the verdict is very surprising."

Spokespeople for Brown and Casey did not provide comments in time for publication. 

In 2019, Tester told MSNBC's "Morning Joe," "I don't think, even in states where Donald Trump won big, that it does you any good running away from Donald Trump. I think you need to go back and punch him in the face," when responding to a question about Republican colleagues supporting the then-president.

Republican lawmakers promptly responded to the verdict on Thursday, with most of them criticizing the conviction. Democratic lawmakers' reactions varied from celebration to solemn acknowledgment and claims that the verdict must be respected. 

However, notably missing from the responses on X and in public statements were those of the five most vulnerable incumbents, many of whom are from battleground states that have voted for Trump in the past. 

Tester hails from a state where Trump beat President Biden by over 16% in 2020, despite losing the presidency. In 2016, Trump won the red state by an even larger margin. 

CNN anchor John Berman suggested Friday that former President Trump’s conviction in his New York trial should be more prominent on his Wikipedia page.

At the outset of an interview with Biden campaign national co-chair Mitch Landrieu, Berman described Trump’s Wikipedia page following his unprecedented conviction and wondered why the jury decision wasn’t mentioned at the top of the entry. 

He asked Landrieu where he would have put Trump’s conviction displayed on the free online encyclopedia, most of whom's entries can be edited by the public. "If it were up to you, and you alone, Mayor, where would ‘convicted felon’ appear in this entry?" Berman asked.

Former President Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree on Thursday. The decision sparked a wave of reaction among Trump allies, Democratic Party politicians and members of the media.

Berman read Trump’s Wikipedia page after the decision, noting that the historic conviction had not been entered into the entry until the sixth paragraph. 

"And the very top line is, ‘Donald John Trump, born June 14, 1946, is an American politician, media personality, and businessman … who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021." 

"That’s the first paragraph," he continued, adding, "It’s not until paragraph six where it says he was convicted of a felony."

"Well, I’m not going to tell people how to write their Wikipedia pages," Landrieu said, pivoting to discussing Trump's criminal conviction.

"Yesterday, a very sacrosanct principle that is necessary to sustain democracies was upheld, which is very simple in America," Landrieu said. "That everybody is subject to the rule of law, and nobody is exempt from it, not even somebody who was President of the United States."

The Biden surrogate continued, "And yesterday was a very sober and somber day for our country. It’s not good for anybody that we have an ex-president that is now a convicted felon."
