Former President Donald Trump delivered brief remarks to the press on Thursday afternoon, reacting to the Supreme Court hearing on his Colorado ballot eligibility; he called it a “beautiful process.”
“I just finished watching Supreme Court, you know, like to watch in many respects. It’s unfortunate that we have to go through the thing like that,” Trump told reporters at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. “I consider it to be more election interference by the Democrats that’s what they’re doing. Good news is we’re leading virtually every poll.”
The high court heard arguments Thursday on whether Trump should be disqualified from the ballot in Colorado for inciting in an “insurrection” at his Jan. 6, 2021 rally at the Capitol.
“I hope that democracy in this country will continue,” Trump added.
“You have millions of people that are out there wanting to vote and they happen to want to vote for me or the Republican Party, whatever you want or however you want to phrase it, But I’m the one running and we are leading in every poll,” Trump said, calling the support he’s received a “great honor.”
Trump also accused President Biden of election interference, stressing that “every one of these cases you see comes out of the White House, it comes out of Biden. It’s election interference and it’s really very sad.”
