Trump is now 'MORE likely to beat Biden' after Colorado ruling: Top researcher says controversial Supreme Court decision will spark huge wave

Colorado's ruling to remove Donald Trump from the state's primary will only “fuel” his chances of winning in a rematch against President Joe Biden, pollsters and experts predict.

The former president's son Eric Trump also claimed that the Colorado Supreme Court's decision will increase his father's already front-runner status in the primaries by at least 5 percent.

On Tuesday evening, Colorado's highest court ruled that Trump had violated Clause 3 of the 14th Amendment, in turn removing him from the 2024 Republican primary.

The 4-3 decision by the Democratic-appointed judges alleges that Trump participated in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 and is therefore disqualified from running for public office.

Tuesday's ruling marks the first time in history that the insurrection clause has been used to prevent a presidential candidate from appearing on a state's presidential ballot.

But Trump's campaign plans to take the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the split includes six conservative justices and three liberal justices. Three of the sitting judges were appointed by Trump.

“Donald Trump thrives on negativity, he thrives on legal systems that try to hold him accountable. And I'm confident his voting numbers will increase,” pollster and political consultant Frank Luntz told CNN.

Notorious pollster and political consultant Frank Luntz said in an interview Tuesday that the Colorado ruling will have “the same impact as his 91 indictments,” boosting Trump's poll numbers.

“The chance that Trump will beat Biden is now even greater,” he predicted in the interview.

Trump faces charges in New York, Washington, DC, Florida and Georgia for election interference, mishandling classified documents and hush money payments.

With each new set of charges, Trump has seen an increase in his polls in his already commanding lead in the primary race.

“Every time Trump has spoken negatively about the justice system, it has been like rocket fuel for Republican voters because it reinforces his core message that he is (and has been) unfairly treated since he came up with the election.” . scene,” Republican strategist Scott Jennings said in a statement to DailyMail.com.

“Republicans see this the same way they saw the two impeachments, the indictments, the Russia investigation and all the rest – just another attempt by elites and Democrats to prevent Trump and his voters from getting a fair shake in the election.” ,” he added, echoing Luntz's views on the latest ruling.

“For Trump haters, this is like getting drunk at the office Christmas party,” Jennings said. “It may seem fun tonight, but tomorrow you will really regret it.”

Trump lost Colorado to Joe Biden by 13 points in 2020 and does not need the state to win back the White House in 2024.

However, the stunning decision in Colorado will be studied by judges in other must-win states such as Michigan as they are asked to consider similar cases. Advocacy groups have so far filed suits in more than a dozen states to stop Trump from voting, but at least seven of those cases have already failed.

The court claims that Trump engaged in an insurrection and is therefore disqualified from running for office under Clause 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Luntz wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Colorado just proved Trump's theory true that he is a victim of political persecution.”

“His polls will not fall,” he added. “On the contrary, they will rise.”

The Colorado Supreme Court's decision means Trump has been removed from the state's primary ballot — and while the case did not directly address the general election, it would likely extend to the November election as well.

Colorado has nine Electoral College votes won by Democratic candidates in the last four general elections. Joe Biden secured the state in 2020 by a wide margin of 55.4 percent.

The state will hold its Republican primaries on March 5, or Super Tuesday.

Those in the Trump world don't seem too bothered by the ruling either, with son Eric writing on .'

“Donald Trump thrives on negativity, he thrives on legal systems that try to hold him accountable. And I am confident that his voting numbers will increase,” Luntz told CNN on Tuesday evening.

He pointed to a recent poll showing Trump winning outside the margin of error in five of six key swing states, saying “the more he's prosecuted, the more he's convicted, the higher his numbers go as people gather around him.” scissors. '

Luntz's message to judges and the US Department of Justice: “You are actually making it more likely that Donald Trump will be elected next November by the way you are pursuing this.”

He said the systems need to provide better explanations for their decisions and their accusations.

The 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War – the third clause prohibits public officials from seeking future office if they have “engaged in insurrection.”

“A majority of the Court finds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court wrote.

Some argue that the court cannot make this ruling because Trump has not yet been convicted of insurrection in any of the several cases against him.

A district court ruled that while Trump incited an insurrection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the provision in the Constitution was unclear whether it was intended to bar candidates for president.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung confirmed Tuesday evening that the ex-president would appeal to the Supreme Court.

“We are confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits,” Cheung said.

Meanwhile, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel called the decision “election interference” and said the RNC would also challenge it in court.

McDaniel said the RNC's legal team “looks forward to helping fight for a victory.”
