The US Supreme Court struck down Colorado’s move to bar Donald Trump from its presidential primary.
Colorado’s top court removed the former president from its ballot in December, citing the 14th Amendment’s ban on insurrectionists running for office.
But Supreme Court justices were sceptical of the move at a hearing on 8 February and accused the state of overstepping its authority.
And today, in a unanimous ruling, the nine justices of the Supreme Court decided Trump that will remain on the ballot.
Their ruling also applies to the 14th Amendment push nationwide, impacting similar rulings in Maine and Illinois.
It means Trump can run in the primary tomorrow, a day on which he could all but seal the Republican nomination.
Reacting to the ruling, Donald Trump responded to the Supreme Court by posting “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!”, on Truth Social.
Moments later, the former president sent out a fundraising email urging supporters to donate to his campaign.
“The unhinged Democrat plan to ERASE MY NAME crashed & burned, but our fight to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is far from over,” the email read.
Colorado will vote alongside 15 other states in a marathon contest dubbed Super Tuesday. The 77-year-old is widely expected to sweep the board and defeat his sole remaining opponent, his former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
