The former US President was removed by the court who cited insurrection.
Trump is still able to run in other states and his campaign is planning to appeal to the US Supreme Court.
Appearing on GB News was Eric Olson, who argued in the court in favour of Trump’s expulsion.

Patrick Christys probed him on whether a “clear cut agenda” was at play, a suggestion he firmly denied.
“Is it not fair to say that these justices were appointed by Democratic governors, so this is not really a great day for the rule of law, it’s a great day for the Democrats?”, he asked.

A court in Colorado has disqualified Donald Trump from the 2024 election ballotReutersOlson firmly refuted the suggestion by responding: “I would strongly disagree.”
“These justices applied the law and the facts to the case before them and issued a result that’s fair and consistent with the rule of law”, he added.
“Some Democrats disagreed. It was not a partisan issue. It was a rule of law issue, that’s exactly what we have here.”
Christys went on to suggest is seems “pretty clear cut” that a political agenda is at play, given how the decision was taken by Democrat appointed officials.
“I would strongly disagree”, Olson said.
“This is a rule of law issue that applies regardless of political party.
“This is not a political issue decided solely on political grounds. I think 133 pages of opinion makes clear why the law and the facts support this outcome.”
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 favour, and without being swayed by public reaction to the decisions that the law mandates we reach."
Trump’s team branded the decision “completely flawed” as they laid out their intention to appeal.
