MINNEAPOLIS – Former Secretary of State Joan Growe says she assumes Wednesday’s Minnesota Supreme Court ruling is “the end of the road” for keeping Donald Trump off the state’s presidential primary ballot in March.
However, there’s been no decision about whether the issue will be revisited before the general election.
Growe said the high court “almost issued an invitation to us to file again.”
Chief Justice Natalie Hudson indicated the time is not “ripe” for any challenge to Trump being on the ballot next November. And the justices did not address whether Trump would be eligible to hold office, based on the “Insurrection Clause” in the U.S. Constitution.
Minnesota Republican Party Chairman David Hann said the Supreme Court ruling should serve as a wake-up call to the allies of President Joe Biden that courtrooms in Minnesota will not be used to prevent voters from fully participating in our elections.
