JUST IN: Trump Breaks His Silence After HUGE Court Win
Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to declare victory after the Democrat-controlled Michigan Supreme Court decided to strike down a lawsuit that sought to bar Trump from the state’s primary election ballot in 2024.
“The Michigan Supreme Court has strongly and rightfully denied the Desperate Democrat attempt to take the leading Candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election, me, off the ballot in the Great State of Michigan,” the former president wrote. “This pathetic gambit to rig the Election has failed all across the Country, including in States that have historically leaned heavily toward the Democrats. Colorado is the only State to have fallen prey to the scheme.”
He then turned his attention to the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar him from the state’s 2024 election ballot, a move that has been highly criticized by legal analysts.
“We have to prevent the 2024 Election from being Rigged and Stolen like they stole 2020 – just look at the complete mess we have as a result with Crooked Joe Biden violently destroying everything in his sight, from our once-great Economy to our once-fair Justice System,” Trump continued. “We have to save our Country from decline and the Radical Left. Make America Great Again!”

Far-left legal organizations have pushed to remove the former president from the primary ballot in more than a dozen states. The challenges cite Section III of the 14th Amendment, which bars former officers of the United States who have engaged in “insurrection” from running for federal office.
Despite the fact that Trump has not been charged with, much less convicted of, inciting an “insurrection” on January 6, 2021, the Colorado Supreme Court made an unprecedented ruling to remove him from the ballot last week. Trump has vowed to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Challenges are ongoing in more than a dozen states as of this report.
In Michigan, an appeals court previously ruled against a complaint filed by left-wing legal organization Attorneys for Free Speech for People. While the legal challenge was considered, the court ultimately concluded that Michigan’s secretary of state does not have the authority to bar Trump from the state’s ballot.
