Up Way Too Early on this thursday morning. Well have coverage of the State Of The Union tonight. Morning joe starts right now. January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of Domestic Business they didnt not like. Fellow americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the senate floor. They tried to hunt down the speaker of the house. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. They did this because theyd been Fed Wild Falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was angry and lost an election. Former President Trumps actions preceded the riot for a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty. Therefore, i am endorsing donald j. Trump. You know, the one thing we cut off there, and maybe its not fair to mitch, is that at the end of it, right after that, he broke into a rousing tune, had a band, happy days are here again. It was like the 32 convention. I coul

Donald trump now has 1057 delegates, that is roughly 11 for every criminal charge he is facing. He is now about 150 delegates away that is a better ratio i think than i expected. From the republican nomination. Vermont denied trump a sweep where nikki haley won with just over 50 of the votes. I love vermont. You got to be looking at vermont and American Samoa if you want to know where the race is going. And i dont understand it. Well be talking to John Heilemann later on. He will explain. On the democratic side, President Biden cruising toward his partys nomination with high stakes state of the Union Address taking place tomorrow on capitol hill.

Today, in a unanimous decision, the justices ruled that its not up to states to bar trump from their ballots under the 14th Amendment, so he gets to stay on the ballot in colorado, where the primary is tomorrow, maine, and illinois. They cant kick him off either. This decision is significant because the Supreme Court has never had to rule before on whether or not states have the power to disqualify a candidate, even an insurrectionist.
