With the U.S. Supreme Court weighing his eligibility for the presidential primary ballot, former President Donald Trump said he considers efforts to disqualify him to be “more election interference by the Democrats.”

His comments followed a hearing in which the nation’s high court heard oral arguments for and against his name’s appearance on the ballot in Colorado, where the state’s Supreme Court has ruled him ineligible under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
