Leftist attempt to exclude former President Donald Trump from voting in Colorado is ‘pure election interference’, Republican National Committee (RNC) says states cannot exclude Trump from voting The statement was made in response to the unanimous ruling of the Federal Supreme Court.
“Today’s ruling confirms what the Republican Party has always said: Americans, not activists or bureaucrats, choose candidates,” the RNC said in a statement.
“The effort to remove Donald Trump from the ballot is pure election interference by the left, and the RNC will fight alongside President Trump’s campaign and other Republican partners in the Supreme Court to protect voters’ right to be heard. “We look forward to continuing our fight in court over the coming months and defeating the Democrats.”
The statement follows a historic 9-0 SCOTUS decision overturning the Colorado Supreme Court’s controversial 4-3 ruling that held that the Constitution’s “insurrection clause” barred President Trump from voting. It is something. However, the U.S. Supreme Court completely disagreed, ruling that only Congress had the power to do so using the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection clause.”
“This case raises the question of whether states, in addition to Congress, can enforce Title III. ”, the majority opinion states in part.
“However, states do not have constitutional authority to enforce Article III with respect to federal offices, especially the presidential office.” “Giving that power to the states would reverse the 14th Amendment’s rebalancing of federal and state powers.”
This is historic, given that SCOTUS has never ruled on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Several other Republicans praised the ruling via social media, calling it “a huge victory for voters and a historic defeat for left-wing activist judges.”
A sweeping rebuke of liberal activist judges who tried to interfere in the 2024 election. I’m glad the Supreme Court got this right. https://t.co/Xo4tDXnCjR

The Supreme Court threw out the Colorado voting case. President Trump will, of course, remain on the ballot.
The unanimous ruling is a clear message to the radical left seeking to use the court against President Trump. https://t.co/YRIbyAWbKV
