Trump Advisers and Colorado Republicans Strategize Following Surprising Ruling

Top officials from Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Colorado Republican Party held a call to discuss plans after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled to remove Trump from the Republican primary ballot due to his alleged incitement of the January 6 insurrection. The Colorado GOP plans to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court and may request a waiver from the Republican National Committee to hold a caucus instead of a primary election. Trump's aides see the ruling as a legal nuisance and a political opportunity, rallying his supporters and framing Biden as a threat to democracy. Trump is expected to heavily campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, but it is unclear if he will visit Colorado.
