Rhonda, a self-described conservative voter from Washington state, said the verdict hadn't changed her decision to vote against President Biden. "I'm happy," she said, speaking with Fox News Digital in Washington, D.C. "I think justice is definitely served." Rhonda added that she wouldn't want to be put in the position of deciding whether to pardon her own son, which President Biden has said he would not do.  HUNTER BIDEN FOUND GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS IN GUN TRIAL "I think as a father, that would be a very hard decision, more than as a president," she said.
