byte is and that answer. with us this morning we have mike barnacle, mara gay, georgeway and staff writer david from. a lot going on this morning. we start with that historic decision. the colorado supreme court has ruled donald trump is disqualify ed from holding office again after determining he engaged in insurrection on january 6th, 2021. the fourth ruling keeps the former president off the state s presidential primary lot next year. the court stayed its decision until january 4th to allow for any further appeals, and the trump team is already vowing they will be doing just that. but the fourth is just one day before the deadline for the state to print its presidential primary ballots. colorado secretary of state discussed the tight timeline in an interview last night on msnbc. if they take the case, we will make clear to the court that the deadlines and the timelines. the bigger thing is if the court does not take the case, as of january 5th, if the u.s. supreme court
his guilty verdict. a jury is caseated for the federal trial of president biden son hunter. bankrolling election deniers. the companies backing lawmakers who push the big lie is the 11th hour gets underway on thist monday night. good evening once again. i am stephanie ruhle. we are now 155 days away from the election. americans have had a few days wa to face the reality that one of the two major candidates is now a convicted criminal. 50% of all americans think the verdict in donald trump s trial was correct compared to 27% to think it was wrong. that s according to a new abc news ipsos poll. 49% think he should end his campaign now. when you look at independence, the percent of people who believe the verdict is correct was up to 52%. meanwhile, donald trump, no surprise, continues leading the republican party in a revolt against conviction while attacking the entire justice system. donald trump himself is openly asking the supreme court to intervene by annulling the gu
