The ruling was unanimous…
According to a New York Post report, the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump must be on the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado.
“The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court … cannot stand,” the order read. “All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”
The 77-year-old ex-president crowed “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!” on his Truth Social account minutes after the ruling.
Donald Trump Jr. also shared the news on X.

From The New York Post:
The unanimous ruling also overturns disqualification orders handed down by officials and judges in Maine and Illinois in recent weeks.
The unsigned order found that only Congress, and not individual states, can disqualify candidates for federal office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, known colloquially as the Insurrection Clause or the Disqualification Clause.
…
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold in a statement following the decision announced Trump was now “an eligible candidate” in the state’s 2024 presidential primary.
During Feb. 8 oral arguments, the majority of the justices had signaled openness to reversing a December decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to kick Trump off the primary ballot.
The Colorado Republican Party appealed that decision to the Supreme Court, while Trump attorneys appealed the decision by Maine’s secretary of state and an Illinois judge to disqualify him.
