The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments today as former President Trump tries to reverse the Colorado ballot ban that was put in place by that state’s Supreme Court.
The former President said it was "unfortunate" his candidacy is being challenged in Colorado and other states after the Supreme Court concluded oral arguments.
"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 justices seemed skeptical of the Colorado case against Trump.
“I think that the question that you have to confront is why a single state should decide who gets to be President of the United States," Kagan told Murray.
Justice Elena Kagan pressed the attorney for Colorado voters, Murray, on why a single state should have the power to decide who gets to run for president.
“Why should a single state have the ability to make this determination not only for their own citizens but also for the nation?" she asked, remarking that the question of Trump's role in the Jan. 6 riot "seems awfully national to me."
A decision is expected by later this month or early next month.
