In a recent interview in New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump expressed confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court would “intervene” to secure his inclusion on 2024 primary ballots nationwide, as reported by Fox News on Thursday, January 18, 2024.
Amid legal challenges to his eligibility for the upcoming elections, Trump emphasized his belief that the Supreme Court justices would not infringe upon the people’s right to vote. Speaking just days before the state’s first-in-the-nation primary on Tuesday, January 23rd, Trump asserted, “We put on three great justices, and you have some other great justices up there, and they’re not going to take the vote away from the people.”
The former president nominated Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court during his tenure. Reflecting on past electoral victories, Trump highlighted his historic success in the Iowa primary, underscoring that he had won by a substantial margin.
