"Republican Leaders Rally to Support Trump's Bid to Stay on Ballot"

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Senate Republicans have signed a brief supporting former President Trump in his Colorado ballot case at the Supreme Court, arguing that the decision to kick Trump off the ballot tramples the prerogatives of members of Congress. The brief, filed by Sen. Ted Cruz and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, has garnered support from over 177 members of Congress, including McConnell, despite his past conflicts with Trump. The brief challenges the Colorado Supreme Court's authority to remove Trump from the ballot and has been backed by other Republican groups and lawmakers.
