Graham Predicts Overturn of Trump's Colorado Ballot Disqualification

The senator criticizes the state Supreme Court's ruling as a 'political decision', foreseeing a 'slam dunk' in the U.S. Supreme Court and a primary win for Trump if he focuses on future rather than past elections.

  • Colorado Supreme Court ruled former President Trump ineligible for the state's ballot under the 14th Amendment, citing his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
  • Sen. Lindsey Graham criticized the ruling as a 'political decision' with 'no constitutional basis', predicting it will be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
  • Graham also predicted that Trump will win the primary in Colorado if he focuses on 'improving security and prosperity for Americans' rather than looking back at the 2020 election.
  • The Colorado court's decision is the first of its kind, with Trump having won legal battles in other states where similar 14th Amendment arguments have been made.
  • Trump's campaign has vowed to appeal the Colorado ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which currently has a 6-3 conservative majority, including three justices appointed by Trump.
