Well, new this morning a federal appeals court judge just
ruled former President Donald Trump can go to trial on
charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The court rejected his claims that he is immune from
prosecution,
and this is the second time the judges have ruled
that he's not immune.
Trump is expected to file an appeal to the Supreme
Court,
and this comes a day after he asked the justices
to keep his name on Colorado's ballot.
In a filing, Trump's legal team said taking him off
the Colorado ballot would be,
quote, anti Democratic. Trump was removed from the Colorado ballot
by the state Supreme Court,
who claimed his role in the events that led to
the Capitol Hill riots.
Bar him from holding office.
The justices are set to hear oral arguments on the
case on Thursday.
We're exactly a month away from Super Tuesday.
On March 5th, 15 states will vote in the primary
and in primaries around the country,
and by the time Super Tuesday is over,
just about half of all Republican delegates will be accounted
for.
Meantime, President Biden says he's ready to take on Donald
Trump in a presidential debate about.
A recent NBC News poll has Trump edging ahead of
Biden if the election were to take place right now.
So the poll suggests voters are mainly concerned.
With the economy and immigration,
Trump does better than Biden on the economy by more
than 20 points and on immigration by more than 30
points.
It's still not clear who will emerge as Trump's vice
presidential candidate,
but his campaign rival Nikki Haley is making it clear
it won't be her.
I am not interested in being vice president.
I am running to be president.
I'm running because we have a country to save.
I'm staying in this race because Republicans cannot lose another
general election.
Well, Haley is back in South Carolina ahead of the
state's Republican primary later this month.
She'll be there, and she applied for Secret Service protection
due to the increasing number of threats she says she's
received.
