The United States’ Supreme Court on Monday 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 February 8, and accused the state of overstepping its authority.
The Supreme Court has now decided Trump will remain on the ballot, meaning he can run in the primary on Tuesday, a day on which he could all but seal the Republican nomination.
Colorado will vote alongside fifteen other states in a marathon contest dubbed Super Tuesday and the 77-year-old is widely expected to sweep the board and defeat his sole remaining opponent, his former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
