Trump easily wins the Colorado primary just 24 hours after Supreme Court reversed bid to kick him off the ballot through the 'insurrection' clause of the 14th Amendment

Former President Donald Trump won the Republican presidential primary in Colorado, after the State Supreme Court tried unsuccessfully to remove him from the ballot.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled 4-3 in December that Trump could not appear on the ballot, citing his role in the January 6th riots on Capitol Hill protesting the 202 election. Citing a clause in the 14th Amendment barring insurrectionists from holding office, the State court Trump was ineligible to run for office.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday just before Tuesday's election that Trump should remain on the ballot, arguing that each state did not have the legal authority to disqualify a candidate.

As voters in Colorado went to the polls Tuesday, many Trump supporters praising the Supreme Court for ruling to keep the former president on the ballot.

Jeff, a voter from Byers, Colorado told the Daily Mail Tuesday he was encouraged by the Supreme Court's decision.

'I thought it was crazy to not let the people decide. They should not be deciding for us. I didn't think it would be unanimous. It made me feel a lot better.'

Mark, a voter at the polls in Bennett, Colorado agreed.

'I didn't think there was any reason they should have pulled Trump off of the ballot. He wasn't convicted or anything,' he said. 'The fact that the Supreme Court ruling was unanimous, that says something, what Colorado wanted to do was wrong.'

Early voting in the state began on February 26, but voters were still turning in their ballots on Tuesday.

Democratic Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswald said she was 'disappointed' by the ruling.

'We believe that states like Colorado [and] states across the nation have the authority to disqualify oath-breaking insurrectionists from our ballots,' she said in an interview on ABC News.

In Fort Morgan, Colorado, Shayla, a Trump supporter said she waited to vote in the presidential primary until Election Day.

'Honestly, I wanted to see if Trump was on the ballot for sure,' she said.

She said she supported Trump, but urged him to get off social media.

'I think he does a lot for our country he just needs to be off social media,' she said. 'No Facebook, no Twitter, none of that crap.'

With 84 percent of the vote in, Trump led by 63 percent of the Republican vote with 407,524 votes and just 216,742 votes for Haley.
