Former President Trump spoke from Mar-a-Lago just hours after the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in his favor, keeping him on the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado, thanking the high court for its unanimous decision and looking forward to pending its decision on his presidential immunity appeal.
The 2024 GOP frontrunner also blamed President Biden for his legal challenges, saying he was using judges and prosecutors to influence the election.
The Supreme Court is unanimous in 2024 GOP lead in his challenge to Colorado’s attempt to kick him off the 2024 primary ballot.
The high court ruled in favor of Trump’s arguments in the case, which will affect the status of efforts in several other states to remove the likely GOP nominee from their respective ballots.
“I want to start by thanking the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today. This is a very important decision, very well made, and I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together, which needs our country,” Trump said at Mar-a-Lago. “And they worked long, they worked hard, and frankly, they worked very quickly on something that will be said 100 years from now and 200 years from now. It’s very important.”
Trump said, “basically, you can’t take someone out of a race because an opponent wants it that way. And it has nothing to do with the fact that it’s the leading candidate, whether it’s the leading candidate or a candidate He fell off the totem pole. You can’t take someone out of a race.”
“The voters can remove the person from the race very quickly. But the court shouldn’t be doing that. And the Supreme Court saw that very well,” Trump said. “And I really believe that’s going to be a unifying factor because while most states are excited that I know, there are some that aren’t and they don’t want that for political reasons.”
Trump pointed to his poll numbers, saying he was “beating President Biden in almost every poll.”
Trump continued to reflect on the legal challenges he is fighting in an election year, saying he is being “persecuted by Biden,” saying each case is “in total coordination with the White House.”
The 2024 GOP frontrunner gave a message to Biden.
“I will say President Biden, number one, stop weaponization. Fight your fight yourself. Don’t use prosecutors and judges to go after your opponent to try and damage your opponent so you can win an election,” he said. “Our country is bigger than that. The other thing I say to President Biden, close the borders now.
