Donald Trump’s expulsion from the Colorado Republican primary ballot is set to be overruled, a commentator has claimed.
Michael Knowles from the Daily Wire joined Jacob Rees-Mogg on GB News America to discuss the ruling that went against the former President.
Not only will the ruling be overturned, but Knowles expects it to play into Trump’s hands when it comes to his popularity.
The court ruled 4-3 that Trump was not an eligible candidate, citing insurrection.

Branding the verdict “completely incoherent”, Knowles spoke on how he expects the ruling to be overturned.
“I suspect that the Supreme Court will overrule this”, he said.

Vivek Ramaswamy recently sat down with Nigel Farage on GB NewsGB News“The legal reasoning here from these Colorado Democrat judges is completely incoherent.”
Knowles commented on the stance taken by Trump’s opponents for the Republican nomination, praising Vivek Ramaswamy for his refusal to appear on the ballot.
Hitting out at the “anti-American” move by the Colorado Supreme Court, Ramaswamy took to social media and pledged to withdraw from the state’s ballot should Trump remain expelled.
“Vivek Ramaswamy, another presidential candidate, has said that he will not appear on the ballot”, Knowles told Rees-Mogg.
“Ron DeSantis has said he will remain on the ballot. I think it’s probably a better look for Vivek.
“There should be some Republican unity here to say that the Democrat officials elected and appointed cannot choose our nominee for us.”
The justices wrote in their ruling: "We do not reach these conclusions lightly. We are mindful of the magnitude and weight of the questions now before us.
"We are likewise mindful of our solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor, and without being swayed by public reaction to the decisions that the law mandates we reach."
The decision does not come into effect until 4 January 2024, ahead of the deadline for printing the state’s presidential primary ballots.
With Trump’s team set to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, the delay could be extended if the case is taken up.
