Former Sen. Claire McCaskill Says Colorado Ruling 'Really Helps Donald Trump'
HuffPost
McCaskill, who represented Missouri as a Democrat, said the Colorado Supreme Court made "a real bad decision" on barring Trump from ballots.
Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said she believes the legal decision to bar Donald Trump from Colorado ballots is sound, but that from a political standpoint, it may actually help the GOP’s presidential front-runner.
McCaskill joined MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday to discuss the state Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump is ineligible to return to the White House due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Under the 14th Amendment, an individual is prohibited from holding office if they engaged in insurrection against the U.S. Constitution after swearing an oath to protect it.
Trump’s campaign said the former president plans to appeal to decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
According to McCaskill, she wears two hats: lawyer and politician.
“As a lawyer, I get this, and I think there is a real strong case for the Supreme Court to agree with Colorado,” she said.
