WASHINGTON, D.C. — Speaker Mike Johnson released the below statement after the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimous decision overturning the Colorado Supreme Court in Donald J. Trump v. Norma Anderson, et al.
Ahead of the case, Speaker Johnson joined Majority Leader Steve Scalise, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, 135 House Republicans, and 41 Senate Republicans in an amicus brief arguing that “the Colorado Supreme Court’s opinion tramples the prerogatives of members of Congress.”
Speaker Johnson said, “Today, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed what we all knew: the Colorado Supreme Court engaged in a purely partisan attack against the frontrunner for the Republican presidential primary. States engaging in the same activist, undemocratic behaviors should take notice and leave it to the American people to decide who will be president.”
