Former President Donald Trump speaks during a commit to caucus rally, Waterloo, Iowa, December 19, 2023
DONALD TRUMP’S march on the White House in next year’s US presidential election is unlikely to be halted by the Colorado state supreme court.
Any temptation to celebrate Tuesday’s ruling against his name going on the ballot paper in the Republican primary ballot next March is misplaced.
There is no sign that Trump’s indictments in the US courts and Congress have any significant impact on his popularity among a sizeable section of public opinion on the other side of the Atlantic. Most opinion polls continue to put him in front of incumbent Joe Biden by a short head.
