The U.S. Supreme Court restored Republican front-runner Donald Trump to the Colorado primary ballot, ruling that the state lacked authority to disqualify him after his actions three years ago during the siege on the U.S. Capitol.

The unanimous decision came only weeks after the justices heard oral arguments in the politically sensitive case that put the high court in the middle of the 2024 presidential election. And it comes a week after the court said it would hear arguments in a case that seeks to answer whether Trump enjoys broad immunity for his actions on Jan. 6.

In a post ona "BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!" In remarks from his Florida resort a short time later, the former president said the high court decision "will go a long way in bringing our country together."
