president. and after the colorado supreme court disqualified donald trump from the ballot, they are asking the supreme court to stay out of the federal election case. how is this playing out in the 2024 case. evan, the colorado supreme court said last night that trump is not eligible to be on colorado s ballot because the 14th amendment to the u.s. constitution bans insurrectionists from holding office. the u.s. supreme court is going to decide whether that ruling stands ultimately. what might this mean for the 2024 election? well, jake, what it means is that it puts the supreme court squarely in possibly deciding how this election goes forward, right? not since the bush v gore decision in 2000 have we had the supreme court in the middle of an election race. you look at the timeline that we have ahead of us, the former president has until january 4th to file an appeal. we don t anticipate he will do that for a few days, but we think he will go to the supreme court, because
adolf hitler saying that immigrants are quote, poisoning the blood of this country. that is similar to phrasing you can find in hitler s manifesto. with less than a month until the first votes are cast in the 2024 republican primary, rivals aren t sitting back. we ll give you what they said in a moment. the biden campaign responding. trump goes beyond the racial dog whistles. he is quoting dictators, and vowing to enact immigration policies that are extreme, round people up by the millions, bring them to deportation camps before forcing them out of the u.s. with no opportunity for due process. it s more than just dehumanizing language. should he win reelection in 2024, he is vowing to enact dehumanizing policies. joining us now, nbc news correspondent, vaughn hillyard, who is in west palm beach, florida. nbc news white house correspondent mike memoli, and senior political report aaron blake who has closely tracked the former president s rhetoric around immigration. thank you
