Policy
So far, Colorado and Maine have blocked Donald Trump from running for president in 2024, making Democrats the party most concerned with stopping an actual democratic election.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on this matter sooner rather than later, as Trump has appealed the ruling.
Some do not expect this ruling to go well for the left.
Just ask Bill Clinton's former White House communications director, George Stephanopoulos, who Mediate reports “decided there was no chance the Supreme Court would uphold a decision to bar Donald Trump from the ballot in the state in the 2024 presidential election.”

A threat to democracy
The report continued:
Stephanopoulos spoke with ABC chief legal analyst and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams on Wednesday about the possibility of the Supreme Court presiding over decisions by Maine and Colorado to deny Trump the presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Given the extenuating circumstances, Abrams said: “There's no doubt in my mind [the Supreme Court is] I will accept this case,” and “The advantage that Donald Trump’s team has is that if it accepts any of the arguments, it wins.”
'impossible'
“We can go through the five or so arguments he has,” Abrams explained. “You have the due process argument, you have definitional arguments, you have questions about whether it's self-enforceable or whether you need Congress to make the laws, does that even include the president? If he wins any of those arguments, he wins. This is the challenge that the other side will face.”
Stephanopoulos responded: “I think you and I are starting from the premise that the Supreme Court simply does not want to intervene and determine the election.” It is not possible for them to support the Maine resolution or the Colorado resolution. We may be proven wrong, but what is the argument?
exactly. What is the argument?
Colorado and Maine's supposed argument that Trump somehow violated the 14th Amendment is flimsy at best.
But in the bigger picture, if your argument is that Trump somehow tried to undermine democracy on January 6, 2021, and yet you're a Democrat trying to make sure voters in certain states can't vote for their preferred candidate — who is really trying to undermine democracy?
We expect the Supreme Court, as George Stephanopoulos has said, to block this ballot ban.
We expect Donald Trump to benefit from these blatant threats to democracy.
