Trump’s Path to Presidency Cleared by Supreme Court

The U.S. election is increasingly likely to be a showdown between former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.

On the 4th (local time), the U.S. Supreme Court decided to maintain the candidacy of Donald Trump, a strong Republican presidential candidate.

The Supreme Court unanimously overturned the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to strip Trump of his candidacy.

The Supreme Court ruled that “The Constitution does not permit individual states to strip the qualifications of presidential candidates running for the federal office. Such responsibility lies with the Congress, not the states.”

With this decision made just a day before Super Tuesday, the day primaries are held simultaneously in 15 states, including Colorado, Trump has removed the obstacle obstructing his path to the presidency.

Although Trump lost to Nikki Haley for the first time at the Republican Caucus in Washington DC the day before, he is expected to secure the Republican presidential nomination this month with ease.

The Washington Post (WP) assessed that “With this ruling, Trump retains his position as a strong primary candidate for the Republican party.”

The U.S. Supreme Court is reorganized with a conservative majority of 6 to 3, including three conservative justices appointed during Trump’s presidency.

The New York Times (NYT) reported, “Although the justices each provided different reasons, the ruling itself was unanimous.”

Trump immediately posted a celebratory message on his social media, referring to the ruling as “A great victory for America.”

The Colorado Supreme Court had previously ruled that Trump’s name should be removed from the Colorado primary ballot, viewing his claims of “election fraud” to incite supporters to storm into Congress on January 6, 2021, as insurrection.

This ruling, which applied Provision 3 of the 14th Amendment, stipulating that a public official who has sworn to support the Constitution cannot hold public office again if they participate in an insurrection or rebellion, was appealed to the federal Supreme Court by Trump.

This lawsuit is expected to impact similar lawsuits recently filed in Maine and Illinois. The decisions of these states are on hold until the Supreme Court ruling.

Reuters pointed out, “The Supreme Court’s decision on the Colorado issue was made very quickly. This contrasts with the slow pace of the immunity privilege issue related to the special prosecutor’s indictment when Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 election.”
