Biden campaign on Trump’s Supreme Court ruling: ‘We don’t really care’

President Biden’s reelection campaign on Monday dismissed the Supreme Court ruling that Colorado cannot disqualify former President Trump from the ballot, arguing that the efforts to keep him off the ballot weren’t part of its strategy to defeat him.

“We don’t really care,” Quentin Fulks, principal deputy campaign manager said when asked about the ruling. 

Fulks told Jen Psaki, who is Biden’s former White House press secretary, at MSNBC Live that they are not focused on the case as a way to beat Trump.

“It’s not been the way we’ve been planning to beat Donald Trump,” he said. “Our focus since day one of launching this campaign has been to defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box. And everything we’ve done since the president announced back in April that he’s running for reelection is to build an infrastructure and apparatus to do so.”

Colorado aimed to disqualify Trump under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection ban, but the Supreme Court’s historic decision on Monday  effectively ends long-shot efforts keep him off the ballot.

The decision marks a legal victory for Trump, who is the likely GOP nominee and is the frontrunner going into Super Tuesday. Trump praised the Supreme Court after the ruling and thanked them for “working so quickly and so diligently and so brilliantly” on the case.
