Trump is 'more likely to beat Biden' after Colorado ruling: Pollster

It came after a Tuesday night ruling by the state's highest court that Trump violated clause 3 of the 14th Amendment - the Constitution's so-called 'insurrection clause'. The 4-3 decision from Democratic-appointed justices was that Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6 , 2021 and therefore disqualified himself from running for public office. It is the first time in history that the insurrection clause has been used to prevent a presidential candidate from appearing on a state's presidential ballot. But Trump's campaign plans to take the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the break-down is six conservative justices to three liberal justices. Three of the sitting justices were appointed by Trump.
