Trump thanks Supreme Court over ballot ruling

Donald Trump has thanked the US Supreme Court for ruling in his favour and striking down a ban that would have kept his name off state ballots. He said the unanimous decision will help in “bringing the country together”. The Supreme Court overturned a ruling in Colorado that meant voters in the state would not have been able to vote for Trump in Tuesday’s primary. Colorado said he should be disqualified due to the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol building, arguing his actions amounted to ‘insurrection’. The former president spoke at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
