"Easy Decision": Trump Believes Supreme Court Will "Intervene" Soon
|
 [ET via ZERO] Former President Donald Trump said he believes the U.S. Supreme Court will "intervene" in multiple cases to prevent him from appearing on state ballots, forecasting that the three justices he nominated to the high court will rule in his favor.
Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday evening, the former president said that the justices are "not going to take the vote away from the people" because of "three great justices" and "other great justices up there." During his term in office, President Trump nominated Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
"I’m sure the Supreme Court is going to say, ’We’re not going to take the vote away from the people,’" he continued to say, saying that Democrats are the real "threat to democracy" in the United States.
Last month, the Colorado Supreme Court issued a 4—3 decision to prevent the former president from appearing on state ballots, citing their interpretation of the "insurrection" clause of the Constitution’s 14th amendment. They claimed that they believed President Trump engaged in an insurrection against the U.S. government despite him having not been convicted or charged with the crime in any court.
Days later, Maine’s Democratic secretary of state, Shenna Bellows, issued a unilateral decision to bar the former president from that state’s ballots under similar pretexts. Unlike Colorado, which is expected to lean heavily Democratic in the 2024 election, Maine could be considered a battleground state, and President Trump won one of the state’s four electors during the 2020 contest.
Meanwhile, according to the former president, the Supreme Court justices should factor in his strong poll numbers and recent win in the Iowa caucuses. National polling averages show that he has a 50-point advantage over the second-place and third-place GOP presidential candidates—former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
