Donald Trump’s presidential campaign issued a scathing response to the recent Colorado Supreme Court ruling removing him from the state’s 2024 presidential ballot.
The campaign issued a statement which said, “Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice.”
It addressed Democrats’ alleged “paranoia” of another Trump win and a lack of faith in the Biden administration.
It called the ruling “a completely flawed decision.” Then concluded, “We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these unAmerican lawsuits.”
This comes after the Colorado Supreme Court ruling claimed that Trump is “disqualified” under Section Three of the 14th Amendment.
It also stated, “It would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.”
Conservatives in Congress decried the Colorado ruling and Sen. Tom Tillis (R-N.C.) has already introduced legislation to penalize states that make similar rulings, via Axios. In addition, Republican Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy pledged to withdraw from the Colorado primary ballot until Trump is reinstated.
He added, “I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley do the same immediately – or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country.”
Various other conservatives are expressing concerns over election integrity due to the ruling as well.
Political commentator Gunther Eagleman posted to X, formerly Twitter, stating, “FACT: January 6th was a staged fake insurrection so states like Colorado could try and keep President Trump from being on a future ballot…”
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C) wrote, “No state court, legislature or executive should weaponize the judicial branch (without any sort of conviction for anything) to keep a federal candidate off the ballot.”
Reporter Simon Ateba compared the ruling to the 1860 presidential election when Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln was barred from appearing on the ballot in 10 southern states, verified by the National Parks Service.
He concluded, “May God help us not repeat history.”
