Republicans accused Democrats of using the Colorado court as a political weapon at a time when U.S. President Joe Biden’s polling stood at a low point.
Meanwhile, the Republican presidential race has been dominated by Trump, who is only bolstered among his voting base by the four criminal indictments he faces, prompting several other candidates to drop out of the race.
Some maintained that Colorado’s court ruling could galvanize those who disagree with the court’s actions.
“That appears to be happening already. Trump’s rivals for the GOP nomination are falling in line behind him and condemning the decision, and it plays right into Trump’s depiction of himself as a victim of sinister forces,” Galdieri said.
Even his main rivals, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, suggested that the ruling was an abuse of judicial power.
