Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said during a Fox News town hall that former President Trump should not be taken off the ballot and predicted she will defeat him \u2018fair and square\u2019 without outside help from Democrats in Colorado and other states.<\/p>\n
\u2018<\/strong>No, he shouldn\u2019t be taken off the ballot and the Supreme Court needs to rule quickly before other states start to do this,\u2019 Haley said during a Fox News town hall in Iowa on Monday night. \u2018This is one of those, don\u2019t open a door if you don\u2019t want to see what happens this is a door we don\u2019t need to open. I will defeat President Trump fair and square. I don\u2019t need anybody throwing him off the ballot to do it.\u2019<\/p>\n Haley received applause for that remark before she continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018But this started back with COVID. The idea that you have people telling people what to do, how to think, what to how to live, all of that, that\u2019s wrong. If they can do this to him, they\u2019ll do it to someone else. We can\u2019t have others saying, I don\u2019t think he should be on the ballot. I think Americans can decide on their own whether they want him to be on the ballot or not.\u2019<\/p>\n The U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to hear arguments on whether former President Trump will be on the Colorado Republican presidential primary ballot after the state\u2019s Supreme Court voted to remove him from the ballot in December citing the 14th Amendment and Trump\u2019s alleged role in the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol which Democrats have referred to as an \u2018insurrection.\u2019<\/p>\n The justices said they will hear the case on an expedited basis, with arguments on Feb. 8.<\/p>\n The historical hearing will consider the meaning of the 14th Amendment, which bars people who \u2018engaged in insurrection\u2019 from holding public office.\u00a0<\/p>\n The amendment was adopted in 1868, following the Civil War.<\/p>\n Maine Democrat Shenna Bellows also recently announced that Maine was removing Trump from the 2024 ballot which the Trump campaign has appealed in court.<\/p>\n More than two dozen states have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court urging the nation\u2019s highest court to keep former President Trump on the Colorado Republican presidential ballot and warning that failing to do so could throw the 2024 presidential election \u2018into chaos.\u2019<\/p>\n Fox News Digital\u2019s Adam Shaw and Sarah Rumpf contributed to this report<\/p>\n\n Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said during a Fox News town hall that former President Trump should not be taken off the ballot and predicted she will defeat him \u2018fair and square\u2019 without outside help from Democrats in Colorado and other states. \u2018No, he shouldn\u2019t be taken off the ballot and the Supreme Court <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":13793,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13792","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
