President Biden told reporters Wednesday there is “no question” the former guy supported an insurrection, a day after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump was disqualified from the state’s 2024 primary ballot because of his role on the January 6 attack of the Capitol.
“No question about it — none, zero. And he seems to be doubling down on everything,” the president added.
The Colorado Supreme Court explicitly included in its opinion that that state’s secretary of state, Jena Griswold, “may not list President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, nor may she count any write-in votes cast for him.”
In September, the president warned in a speech that Trump believes presidents possess fearsome, unchecked powers, citing a quote from Trump in 2019 in which the then-president described Article II of the Constitution as giving him “the right to do whatever I want as president.” That view is at odds with constitutional norms meant to prevent unilateral rule.
Fox News host Harris Faulkner called into question Biden’s mental state, claiming she knows people over the age of 100 “who have it together far more than the president.”
