President Joe Biden declined to comment on the Colorado Supreme Court decision to bar former President Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot, but he told reporters on Wednesday there was “no question” that the former president was an insurrectionist.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had said “no comment” to a direct question about whether the president believes President Trump to be an “insurrectionist” earlier that day on Airforce One.
