On Monday, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned a Colorado court ruling that had prohibited Donald Trump from being listed on the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot.

The Colorado decision was based on a provision in the U.S. Constitution related to individuals involved in insurrection.

The Supreme Court’s verdict establishes that no state has the authority to exclude Trump or any other candidate from a presidential ballot by invoking the insurrection clause in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

In its decision, the Supreme Court affirmed that “States have no power under the Constitution to” enforce the provision disqualifying individuals from federal office due to their involvement in insurrection, particularly for the presidency, CNBC reported.

However, the ruling clarified that states could disqualify individuals from holding state offices on such grounds. Trump, in a post on Truth Social responding to the decision, expressed, “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!”

The outcome, ensuring that votes cast for him on Tuesday’s ballot will be counted, was anticipated and aligns with the former president’s expectations.
