<p>A Democrat running against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> in 2024 criticized the court ruling that kicked former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> off the ballot in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/colorado" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colorado</a>.</p>
<p>In a post to X on Wednesday, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) rejected the Colorado Supreme Court majority&#8217;s decision the night before to disqualify Trump from the state&#8217;s presidential primary on the view that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/state-supreme-court-rules-trump-not-eligible-to-run-in-2024-removes-him-from-ballot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">engaged in an insurrection</a> on January 6, 2021, using <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=violation+of+Section+3+of+the+14th+Amendment.&amp;oq=violation+of+Section+3+of+the+14th+Amendment.&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBBzE4NGowajeoAgCwAgA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Section 3 of the 14th Amendment</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do I believe Trump is guilty of inspiring an insurrection and doing nothing to stop it? I was there. Absolutely,&#8221; Phillips said in a post to his campaign X account. &#8220;Do I believe it’s wrong to ban him from the ballot in Colorado without a conviction? Absolutely. Do I believe the [U.S. Supreme Court] must opine immediately? Absolutely.&#8221;</p>

<p>Phillips, who <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-primary-d/2024/national/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trails</a> the incumbent by a wide margin in polls, spoke out shortly after Biden commented on the Colorado Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling.</p>
<p>While addressing reporters, Biden similarly asserted the opinion that Trump &#8220;supported&#8221; an insurrection, but cast doubt on the 14th Amendment case. He did not go as far as Phillips in calling for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the ruling.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s self-evident,&#8221; Biden <a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1737530396227559756" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> to someone who asked if Trump is an &#8220;insurrectionist.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;You saw it all. Now whether the 14th Amendment applies, I&#8217;ll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. There&#8217;s no question about it. None. Zero.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Reporter: “Is Trump an insurrectionist, sir?”</p>

<p>In a statement, Trump&#8217;s campaign vowed to appeal the 4-3 decision in Colorado, which was designed to be placed on hold until January 4 or until the Supreme Court rules on the case, and other GOP <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/republican-candidates-defend-trump-after-colorado-14th-amendment/story?id=105809464" target="_blank" rel="noopener">candidates</a> for president and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-officials-float-kicking-biden-off-state-ballots-over-immigration-crisis?%3Futm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=dwnewstwitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">officials</a> have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-republican-party-to-cancel-primary-if-trump-kept-off-ballot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized the ruling</a>.</p>

<p>Trump himself <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-blasts-co-supreme-court-ruling-banning-him-from-ballot-banana-republic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decried</a> &#8220;ELECTION INTERFERENCE!&#8221; in all-caps posts to his Truth Social account while also calling for other legal matters he faces to be dropped. He <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111612853190564805" target="_blank" rel="noopener">additionally said</a>, &#8220;A SAD DAY IN AMERICA!!!&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/robert-f-kennedy-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</a>, another presidential candidate whose independent bid is <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1737568895685333061" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surging among key groups</a>, slammed the Colorado ruling, too.</p>
<p>&#8220;Trump blocked from the ballot in Colorado. When a court in another country disqualifies an opposition candidate from running, we say, &#8216;That’s not a real democracy.&#8217; Now it’s happening here,&#8221; Kennedy <a href="https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1737310224787324953" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;I’m not a Trump supporter (if I were, I wouldn’t be running against him!) But I want to beat him in a fair election, not because he was kicked off the ballot. Let the voters choose, not the courts!&#8221;</p>
<p>Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur, who is running <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/progressive-announces-primary-bid-against-biden-but-theres-one-big-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">campaign for president</a> despite being an immigrant from Turkey in defiance of the U.S. Constitution’s “natural born citizen” clause, <a href="https://twitter.com/cenkuygur/status/1737644233262285146" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encouraged</a> the Supreme Court to take up consideration of 14th Amendment ballot issues, <a href="https://twitter.com/cenkuygur/status/1737644233262285146" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cautioned</a> against keeping Trump off the ballot, and chastised the Democratic Party&#8217;s handling of its election process.</p>
<p>&#8220;While people are outraged that Trump has been taken off the ballot in Colorado, at the same time, the Democratic Party has taken all of Biden&#8217;s opponents off the ballot in Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina primaries,&#8221; he <a href="https://twitter.com/cenkuygur/status/1737294151216255259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;Democracy is on the line in a lot of ways in this election.&#8221;</p>
