Donald trump off of the ballot. Other states that were considering it, dont think about it. A unanimous ruling from the Supreme Court today to put the kibosh on that. Didnt put the kibosh on other cases that are developing as we speak. Im neil cavuto. This is your world with Shannon Bream on the significance of what happened today. Hi, shannon. Neil, great to see you. So yes, theres a number of controversies and cases the Supreme Court is dealing with this term that have the potential to impact the campaigns and the election.

Theres so much to consider. The motivation, the political effect on november, and the future of the court itself. How much public trust can it stand to lose before
