Ramaswamy Stands With Trump Against Colorado Ruling

In a strong statement about bravery in the face of actual attacks on American democracy, Republican presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has announced his intention to withdraw from Colorado’s GOP primary. The decision is a direct response to the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling on Tuesday to exclude President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot based on allegations he engaged in “insurrection” in violation of the 14th Amendment.

In his words on X, formerly known as Twitter, Ramaswamy condemns the court’s decision as “un-American, unconstitutional, and unprecedented,” highlighting the involvement of a “cabal of Democrat judges.” This action by the court is perceived by many as a deliberate maneuver by the Democrat and Republican-in-name-only establishment to prevent Trump from running, depriving Americans of the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice.

Objective legal analysts view the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision, which was split 4-3, with deep concern. The majority of that court found that Trump is disqualified under the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection clause.” This clause relates to an individual’s involvement in insurrection after swearing to support the Constitution. 

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung has expressed strong dissent against this ruling. He describes the decision as “deeply undemocratic.” He assures that an appeal will be filed immediately with the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Ramaswamy also called on fellow GOP candidates Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley to join him in withdrawing from the Colorado primary unless and until Trump is reinstated on the ballot. His challenge is clear — Republicans must stand together against this maneuver or be seen as endorsing it as a legitimate means of controlling election outcomes.

This controversy is not just about the fate of one candidate — it speaks to the broader battle in America over electoral integrity and the right of voters to choose their representatives without interference from partisan politicians or judges. 

The upcoming appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court will be pivotal in determining not just President Trump’s political future but also the sanctity of the electoral process in the United States. As the next significant deadline in the Colorado primary process is January 4, legal experts expect some action from the Supreme Court in short order.
