The ruling is a victory for Trump, in terms of keeping his name on Minnesota’s ballot for the 2024 GOP primary, where recent polling shows he has a commanding lead. However, the Minnesota justices didn’t go as far as Trump’s lawyers wanted, which was to shut down the case altogether and keep the former president on the ballot for both the primary and general election.
The ruling said the case was being dismissed “as not to impair the orderly election process.” (The state’s GOP primary is scheduled for March 5.) There were no noted dissents in the court’s order, which was signed by Chief Justice Natalie Hudson.
In a statement, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said the decision “is further validation of the Trump Campaign’s consistent argument that the 14th Amendment ballot challenges are nothing more than strategic, un-Constitutional attempts to interfere with the election.”
Too bad, po. But, we know that you TDSers are persistent. It ain't over till it's over!
