Trump speaks after Supreme Court ruling, tells Biden to 'fight your fight yourself'

Trump touts SCOTUS ruling as 'great win for America'

Fox News' Brooke Singman provides details on former President Donald Trump's reaction to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Colorado's ballot ban.

Former President Trump spoke from Mar-a-Lago just hours after the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in his favor, keeping him on the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado, thanking the high court for its unifying decision and looking ahead to its pending ruling on his presidential immunity appeal. 

The 2024 GOP frontrunner also blamed President Biden for his legal challenges, and claimed he is using judges and prosecutors to influence the election.

The Supreme Court sided unanimously with the 2024 GOP frontrunner in his challenge to Colorado’s attempt to kick him off the 2024 primary ballot. 

The high court ruled in favor of Trump's arguments in the case, which will impact the status of efforts in several other states to remove the likely GOP nominee from their respective ballots. 

"I want to start by thanking the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today. It was a very important decision, were very well crafted, and I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together, which our country needs," Trump said from Mar-a-Lago. "And they worked long, they worked hard, and frankly, they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now. Extremely important." 

Trump said, "essentially, you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way. And it has nothing to do with the fact that it's the leading candidate, whether it was the leading candidate or a candidate that was well down on the totem pole. You cannot take somebody out of a race." 

"The voters can take the person out of the race very quickly. But a court shouldn't be doing that. And the Supreme Court saw that very well," Trump said. "And I really do believe that will be a unifying factor because while most states were thrilled to have me know, there were some that didn't and they didn't want that for political reasons." 

Trump touted his poll numbers, saying he is "beating President Biden in almost every poll." 

Trump went on to reflect on the legal challenges he is fighting during an election year, saying he is "being prosecuted by Biden," saying every case is "in total coordination with the White House." 

The 2024 GOP frontrunner issued a message to Biden. 

"I will say that President Biden, number one, stop weaponization. Fight your fight yourself. Don't use prosecutors and judges to go after your opponent to try and damage your opponent so you can win an election," he said. "Our country is much bigger than that. The other thing I say to President Biden, close the borders now. This is not sustainable for our country. It's not sustainable for our cities. Our country is under siege."
