Former President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared confident that the Supreme Court would allow him to remain on 2024 election ballots in Colorado, predicting that the three justices he appointed to the high court and others would rule in his favor.
“We put on three great justices, and you have some other great justices up there, and they’re not going to take the vote away from the people,” the 77-year-old Republican presidential primary front-runner told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“I’m sure the Supreme Court is going to say, ‘We’re not going to take the vote away from the people,’” Trump added, charging that President Biden is the real “threat to democracy.”
In a 4-3 decision last month, the liberal-majority Colorado Supreme Court deemed Trump ineligible to appear on 2024 ballots in the Centennial State under the Constitution’s so-called insurrection clause.
The justices in the majority determined that Trump “engaged in an insurrection” with his actions in the lead up to and during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case seeking to overturn the Colorado court’s ruling next month.
