Former President Donald Trump celebrated the Michigan Supreme Court’s decision to reject an attempt to take him off the ballot in the Great Lake State on Wednesday while decrying “this pathetic gambit to rig the Election” against him.

“The Michigan Supreme Court has strongly and rightfully denied the Desperate Democrat attempt to take the leading Candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election, me, off the ballot in the Great State of Michigan. This pathetic gambit to rig the Election has failed all across the Country, including in States that have historically leaned heavily toward the Democrats,” declared Trump on Truth Social.

He continued:

Colorado is the only State to have fallen prey to the scheme. That 4-3 Colorado Supreme Court decision, which they themselves stayed, thus keeping me on the ballot as we go up to the U.S. Supreme Court, is being ridiculed and mocked all over the World. We have to prevent the 2024 Election from being Rigged and Stolen like they stole 2020 – just look at the complete mess we have as a result with Crooked Joe Biden violently destroying everything in his sight, from our once-great Economy to our once-fair Justice System. We have to save our Country from decline and the Radical Left. Make America Great Again!

Trump has previously condemned the Colorado decision to take him off the ballot earlier this month.

“EVERY CASE I AM FIGHTING IS THE WORK OF THE DOJ & WHITE HOUSE. NO SUCH THING HAS EVER HAPPENED IN OUR COUNTRY BEFORE. BANANA REPUBLIC??? ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!” said Trump in a Truth Social screed after the decision came down.

The cases seeking to take Trump off the ballot in states across the country argue that Trump is ineligible for the presidency under the 14th Amendment, which says that those who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the Constitution may not serve “as an officer of the United States.”
