Trump Campaign's Reaction to Colorado Court Ruling: Interference in Elections and 'Undemocratic'

Following the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling to remove Donald Trump's name from the state's 2024 presidential election ballot, a spokesperson for Trump's campaign described the court's action as 'undemocratic.' Steven Chang stated, 'This ruling is a backing for a leftist group's attempt to interfere in the elections in favor of Joe Biden.' The Trump campaign spokesperson added, 'This ruling was predictable as the Colorado Supreme Court is entirely composed of judges appointed by Democrats, and these same judges have ruled against President Trump.' He also claimed that 'by removing Donald Trump's name from the ballot, these judges have deprived Colorado voters of their right to choose their preferred candidate.' He asserted that 'Democratic Party leaders, due to Mr. Trump's significant and growing lead in the polls, are desperate and, having lost faith in Joe Biden's administration, are making intense efforts to prevent American voters from ousting them from power in the upcoming November elections.' The Trump campaign spokesperson concluded, 'We will quickly appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and simultaneously request a halt to this deeply undemocratic decision. We are fully confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will swiftly rule in our favor and put an end to these baseless claims.' The Colorado Supreme Court made a stunning and unprecedented decision on the evening of December 19, ruling that Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, is not a qualified candidate for the presidency under the 'Insurrectionists' clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Although this decision only applies to Colorado, it will have a significant impact on the 2024 elections.
