Prominent Republicans have rallied behind former President Donald Trump, expressing outrage over a recent ruling by Colorado’s Supreme Court that could potentially disqualify him from the state’s 2024 primary ballot.

The decision has sparked fierce backlash from GOP leaders, who charge that the ruling represents an affront to democracy and, according to GOP Chair Ronna McDaniel and others, an unprecedented act of “election interference.”
