I don’t wanna get too excited about anything,” he told the New York Post on Thursday. “It’s as it should be. Justice has been served. That’s it.” The vocal Trump critic, who rallied outside the Manhattan courthouse this week, added that he plans to continue to campaign for President Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 election—where Trump is still slated to be the Republican nominee. When asked if he Trump could still win the election, De Niro responded, “For me, it’s not over ’til it’s over.”
