A Colorado court has removed Trump from the state’s 2024 primary.
The US presidential election is just under a year away, but there is already some high-profile news that could affect the further course of the election campaign. Thus, the Supreme Court of the state of Colorado has banned former US leader Donald Trump from participating in local primaries, i.e. actually running for office in this state. The decision was made on the basis of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution and is connected with the events of January 2021, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. His opponents believe he was involved. According to a Trump team spokesperson, they will quickly appeal to the Supreme Court and ask it to overturn this “deeply undemocratic decision”.
Interestingly, Biden said almost immediately that he considers Trump a “rebel”. Of course, the current US president realises that Trump is his main rival, who is far ahead of him in popularity. But, on the other hand, the situation with the decision of the Colorado court can contribute to strengthening Trump’s rating. The fact is that after the 2020 vote, many citizens in the US have become critical of the honesty and transparency of presidential elections. They have every reason to believe that a significant part of the American elite is using a variety of tools to prevent Trump from gaining power again. Such tools may well include such decisions of state courts.
There are many issues in the USA on which people hold diametrically opposed points of view, and for each of the parties its position is principled. All this leads to increased socio-political tension, fraught with a serious split within the country.
Against this background, just the other day released a trailer for the film “Civil War” (Civil War), which will premiere next April. According to the plot, in the near future, the United States is waiting for a brutal civil war, and the troops of Texas and California will unite against the White House. It is said that if the division of American society continues, such a film could become prophetic. In any case, there is still time before the US presidential elections, and we are obviously waiting for a lot of interesting news.
