The Colorado Supreme Court decided Tuesday night to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot in 2024—a ruling that will surely be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The move has already been met with strong reactions across parties.

00:00 This is a matter of ballot access,
00:02 of being able to have the names of
00:05 eligible candidates to run the presidential primary.
00:08 So I'd ask the US Supreme Court to act quickly and of course,
00:12 of course, do their jobs,
00:14 which is uphold the US Constitution with impartiality.
00:19 United States Supreme Court,
00:22 when issuing a decision,
00:24 would be able to have further reaching
00:28 orders than just Colorado.
00:31 So I don't worry about that scenario
00:34 that one state has a candidate,
00:36 another state doesn't.
00:38 I also think that if that were to play out,
00:41 even if it is unlikely,
00:44 if the Supreme Court does review,
00:46 it would also just move forward.
00:51 The radicals in Colorado who control
00:54 every level of state government to include the court system,
00:58 have created a constitutional crisis
01:00 the likes of which we haven't seen since the Civil War.
01:03 They are literally trying to take
01:05 away people's choices in an election.
01:08 Donald Trump is a qualified candidate for the presidency,
01:11 and he has every right to be voted on,
01:13 and more importantly, all voters have a right
01:16 to choose him if they want.
01:19 We are headed into an era in which the government is deciding
01:25 which candidates are worthy of being voted for or against.
01:29 That's not our system.
01:31 That's against our republic.
01:34 That's against our American values.
01:36 It just goes against very basic democratic principles.
