Michigan Supreme Court: Donald Trump remains in the race for the US presidency
It seems that former US President Donald Trump won’t be out of race to the US presidency, as the Michigan Supreme Court rejected, on Wednesday, a request to exclude Donald Trump from the list of candidates for the primary elections in the swing state next year against the backdrop of his role in the Capitol events in 2021.
The Michigan Supreme Court said in a brief decision that it wasn’t convinced that the questions raised should be considered by this court before the Michigan primary elections on February 27, and the decision contradicts a recent decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that ruled that Trump was ineligible to run in the Republican Party presidential primaries elections, against the backdrop of the Capitol events that he is accused of inciting.
Trump welcomed the Michigan court’s decision, denouncing a miserable attempt by the Democrats to obstruct his bid to win another term in the White House, and wrote on Truth Social, “This miserable maneuver to rig the elections has failed across the country, including in states that have historically leaned strongly toward… Democrats”.
One same context, Colorado Supreme Court froze its decision until January 4th, pending the appeal submitted by Trump’s team of lawyers before the US Supreme Court, submitting the Colorado case for review would place the country’s Supreme Court at the heart of the presidential elections, as any decision it takes… The question of Trump’s involvement in insurrection or his eligibility may be binding on lower courts across the country.
The former US president Donald Trump (77) is scheduled to appear before the judiciary in Washington in March on charges of colluding to overturn the election results won by Democrat Joe Biden.
He faces other charges related to the elections in Georgia, and impeachment proceedings were launched against him in Florida on charges of mishandling confidential documents after he left the White House.
