Panorama general: Dean Phillips, Democratic congressman and candidate in the 2024 presidential elections in the United States, has come out in defense of Donald Trump after the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court that qualified him as ineligible for the presidential candidacy.
“Do I think it is a mistake to exclude Donald Trump from the vote in Colorado without a conviction? Of course. Do I think the Supreme Court should rule immediately? Absolutely,” said the Democratic candidate. Phillips believes that for Donald Trump to be disqualified from participating in the elections, there must be an actual criminal conviction.
What you should know: Following the ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, several political figures have rejected the measure, arguing that it is not applicable given the current situation of former President Trump.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate in the Republican primary, announced that he is willing to remove his name from the Colorado ballot and urges other candidates to do the same. The Court’s decision is historic, since Trump is the first candidate to be classified as “ineligible.” Donald Trump claimed that this ruling was something they expected and accused media outlets supposedly run by George Soros of trying to prevent his imminent arrival at the White House, according to a statement.
