Trump easily wins Colorado primary just 24 hours after the Supreme Court overturned the attempt to remove him from the ballot using the ‘insurrection’ clause of the 14th Amendment.

Former President Donald Trump won the Republican presidential primary in Colorado after the state Supreme Court unsuccessfully tried to remove him from the ballot.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled 4-3 in December that Trump could not appear on the ballot, citing his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol protesting the 2020 election. Citing a clause of the 14th Amendment that barred insurrectionists from holding public office, the state court Trump was ineligible to run for office.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Monday, just before Tuesday’s election, that Trump should remain on the ballot, arguing that each state did not have the legal authority to disqualify a candidate.

As Colorado voters went to the polls Tuesday, many Trump supporters praised the Supreme Court for deciding to keep the former president on the ballot.

Jeff, a voter from Byers, Colorado, told the Daily Mail on Tuesday that he was encouraged by the Supreme Court’s decision.

‘I thought it was crazy not to let people decide. They shouldn’t decide for us. I didn’t think it would be unanimous. It made me feel a lot better.”

Mark, a voter at the polls in Bennett, Colorado, agreed.

“I didn’t think there was any reason why they should have taken Trump off the ballot. He wasn’t convicted or anything,” he said. “The fact that the Supreme Court’s ruling was unanimous says something about it. What Colorado wanted to do was wrong.

Early voting in the state began on February 26, but voters were still turning in their ballots on Tuesday.

Colorado Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswald said she was “disappointed” by the ruling.

“We believe that states like Colorado (and) states across the country have the authority to disqualify oath-breaking insurrectionists from our ballots,” he said in an interview on ABC News.

In Fort Morgan, Colorado, Shayla, a Trump supporter, said she waited to vote in the presidential primary until Election Day.

“Honestly, I wanted to see if Trump was on the ballot for sure,” he said.

He said he supported Trump but urged him to leave social media.

“I think he does a lot for our country; he just needs to stay off social media,” she said. “No Facebook, no Twitter, none of that garbage.”

With 84 percent of the vote, Trump was leading with 63 percent of the Republican vote with 407,524 votes and only 216,742 votes for Haley.
