Trump applauds “legitimate” decision of the Michigan Supreme Court not to disqualify him

The former president of USA donald trump He welcomed this Wednesday’s decision by the Michigan Supreme Court, which refused to disqualify him from the 2024 electoral process for his role in the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

In a statement published on his social network Truth, the former governor (2017-2021) pointed out that the Supreme Court of Michigan “has firmly and legitimately denied the desperate attempt” of the Democrats to remove it from the voting rolls in this state.

The Michigan Supreme Court judges argued that the case raises a political question that should not be resolved by Justice and rejected the lawsuit without even holding a trial.

The decision contrasts with the unprecedented ruling issued last week by the Colorado Supreme Court, which by a vote of 4 in favor and 3 against did disqualify trump of next year’s elections due to the events of January 6.

Colorado’s highest court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, who appealed to the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits people who have participated in an insurrection from holding elected office.

“Colorado is the only state that has been a victim of the plan,” said the former president, who in the past has indicated, without showing evidence, that he is a victim of “electoral interference.”

Trump is the clear favorite in the Republican Party primary process to choose its nominee in the 2024 presidential elections, in which the current US president, Democrat Joe Biden, will seek re-election.

In this Wednesday’s message, the former president confirmed what his spokespersons announced last week, that is, the plan to appeal the ruling in Colorado to the United States Supreme Court.

This would leave in the hands of the Supreme Court – if it chooses to accept the appeal – the final decision on whether the 14th Amendment can be used in Trump’s case and whether or not he can run in the 2024 presidential elections.
