Donald Trump says the Supreme Court opinion unanimously restoring him to 2024 presidential primary ballots is a BIG WIN for America. The court Monday rejected state attempts to hold the Republican former president accountable for the Capitol riot.
The justices ruled a day before the Super Tuesday primaries that states cannot invoke a post-Civil War constitutional provision to keep presidential candidates from appearing on ballots. The court wrote in an unsigned opinion that that power resides with Congress.
The court's move ends efforts in Colorado, Illinois, Maine and elsewhere to kick Trump off the ballot because of his attempts to undo his loss in the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.
Settlement in Wisconsin fake elector case offers new details on the strategy by Trump lawyers.
