Trump believes SCOTUS will ‘intervene’ in state ballots case, ‘will not take the vote away from the people’
Former President Trump said he believes the U.S. Supreme Court will “intervene” and rule in his favor by keeping him on 2024 primary ballots across the nation despite challenges, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he has faith that the justices on the high court are “not going to take the vote away from the people.” Trump sat down for an exclusive interview in New Hampshire with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. The interview aired Thursday night on Fox News Channel and came just days before the Granite State’s first-in-the-nation primary, set for Tuesday, Jan. 23. Several states, like Maine and Colorado, are looking to remove Trump from the 2024 GOP primary ballot in the state, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution, or the “disqualifications clause.” MAINE SUPERIOR COURT ISSUES A STAY ON STATE’S DECISION TO BAR TRUMP FROM PRIMARY BALLOT That clause bars individuals who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against America, or aided those engaged in such, from holding office. Trump has never been charged with insurrection. “We put on three great justices, and you have some other great justices up there, and they’re not going to take the vote away from the people,” Trump said. Trump, as president, nominated three justices who were confirmed to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court: Justice Neil Gorsuch, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Amy Coney Barrett. “You saw in the history of the Iowa primary – it goes back a long time – I won by the most,” Trump said. “Nobody’s ever won, as you know … there’s nobody even close. I doubled up and more than doubled up.” Trump dominated the Iowa caucuses, winning 98 of 99 counties. He lost one county by one single vote. Trump collected 20 delegates in the state. “I’m sure the Supreme Court is going to say we’re not going to take the vote away from the people,” Trump said. But the former president said that it is President Biden who is “a threat to democracy.” TRUMP APPEALS DECISION TO BAN HIM FROM MAINE BALLOT “Biden is a threat to democracy, is an absolute threat to democracy, and he’s very dangerous for a couple of reasons,” Trump said. The former president said Biden is “grossly incompetent, which is the No. 1 reason” but said the president is “actually in his own way.” “It’s not him. It’s the people that surround him,” Trump said. “You got some very bad people surrounding him at that desk.” Trump said the people running the Department of Justice are “young, and they’re smart, and they’re communists, and they’re Marxists, they’re fascists, and they’re running this country.” “They’re running it right into the ground,” Trump said. But returning to the Supreme Court, Trump said, “I don’t think the Supreme Court would do it because … you can’t take the vote. I am leading in every poll. I am leading Biden, but I am leading the remaining Republicans.” Trump said the Supreme Court has “two votes that are very important coming up.” TRUMP CAMPAIGN SAYS 14TH AMENDMENT ADVOCATES USING ‘LAWFARE’ TO ‘DEPRIVE’ VOTERS OF CHOICE IN 2024 “One, as we discussed, we call it Colorado or whatever, but you know, I really believe they’re going to leave the people to vote again,” Trump said. “It’s hard to imagine they would do, and most states have already approved it, and as you know, very few states have done that.” Trump said “this is Colorado and a couple of others at this moment.” But Trump also said the Supreme Court is considering “immunity for the president of the United States.” “And I’m not talking about myself,” Trump said. “I’m talking about any president has to have immunity because if you take immunity away from the president — so important — you will have a president that’s not going to be able to do anything, because when he leaves office, the opposing party president, if it’s the opposing party, will indict the president for doing something that should have been good.” Trump used an example of former President Obama dropping “missiles, and they ended up hitting a kindergarten or a school or the apartment house.” “A lot of people were killed,” Trump said. “Well, if that’s the case, he’s going to end up being indicted when he leaves office. He meant well. The missile went in the wrong direction.” Trump also pointed to Biden. “Look at Biden. What would happen to Biden? He’s killed our country with his policies,” Trump said. “The border is a disaster. Everything he does is a disaster.” TRUMP 14TH AMENDMENT BALLOT ELIGIBILITY CHALLENGER ARRESTED ON FEDERAL TAX FRAUD CHARGES Trump pointed to the Biden administration’s withdrawal of U.S. military and assets from Afghanistan, calling it “the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, giving $85 billion worth of equipment, killing our soldiers, wounding horribly our soldiers, leaving people behind.” “Well, when he leaves office, if he doesn’t have immunity now, I think it’s horrible what he did, but he probably, I don’t know, it’s hard to believe, but he probably meant well,” Trump said. “But the man is incompetent, but you have to leave immunity with the president.” He added, “If a president is afraid to act because they’re worried about being indicted when they leave office, a president of the United States has to have immunity, and the Supreme Court is going to be ruling on that.” Trump said if presidents don’t have immunity, “no president is going to act.” “You’re going to have guys that just sit in office and are afraid to do anything,” Trump said. The U.S. Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C., is expected to issue a ruling in the case brought by Trump, who is seeking to have the charges against him stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 investigation dismissed. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges. Trump and his lawyers are arguing that he should be immune from prosecution because he was serving

Trump says Nikki Haley ‘has no chance’ ahead of New Hampshire primary: ‘MAGA is not going to be with her’
Former President Trump said Nikki Haley “has no chance” of winning the 2024 Republican nomination, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an exclusive sit-down interview Thursday that “MAGA is not going to be with her.” Trump, who solidified his standing as the frontrunner in the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race after winning the Iowa caucuses Monday night, now has his sights set on New Hampshire. Trump traveled to the Granite State this week after he dominated his GOP opponents in Iowa by winning 98 of 99 counties. He collected 20 delegates in the state. Trump, who sat with Hannity in New Hampshire just days before the state’s first-in-the-nation primary, is ahead by double-digits in the polls in the Granite State. But some new polling shows former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and his former ambassador to the United Nations, performing well. Moderate voters in the Granite State are highly influential, and the state’s independents — who can vote in either major party primary — have long played a crucial role in New Hampshire’s storied presidential contest. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu endorsed Haley, but in an interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto, he said it was “troubling” that some Democratic voters will “switch” to be independents to vote in the primary. When asked if that system “bothers” him, Trump said: “It bothers me.” “And the governor should have done something about it,” Trump told Hannity. “Instead of wasting his time with Nikki, because she’s not going to make it. She has no chance, she’s got no way.” Trump added: “MAGA is not going to be with her.” Trump said the state’s system is “a bad thing for us.” “Who has a system where Democrats are allowed to vote in the Republican Primary?” He asked. “And New Hampshire is an incredible place. I love the people.” Trump, who won New Hampshire in both 2016 and 2020, said the state is “fantastic,” but it needs “a system.” “You need a governor that’s going to get it changed, not just talking about it,” Trump said. “He’s talking about it for four years, never got it done, so Democrats are allowed to vote, which they’re going to vote for her, because they don’t want to run against me, they want to run against her.” He added: “It’s a very simple system.” But even if Democrats register as independents and vote for Haley in New Hampshire, Trump said: “I don’t think it’s going to matter.” A daily tracking poll released Thursday morning by Suffolk University, the Boston Globe and NBC10 Boston shows Trump with 50% support among those likely to vote in the New Hampshire primary Jan. 23. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who served as ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, stands at 36%, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at just 6%. TRUMP HOLDS DOUBLE-DIGIT LEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE GOP PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY AS HALEY EDGES UP IN LATEST POLL In that same poll, 4% of respondents said they were undecided, with 1% saying they would back a different candidate altogether. Trump, reflecting on his presidency — including the years-long Russia probe that clouded the beginning of his administration and the two impeachments — said neither Haley nor Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “would not be able to handle” the “onslaught” that comes with being president of the United States. “If I were a softer individual, and I’ll tell you something, Ron DeSantis or Nikki or anybody else, if they were in my position, if they were here, they would have been hit just as hard,” Trump said. “These people play tough, much tougher than the Republicans play, and the Republicans have to get tougher.” He added: “But Nikki, I know Nikki very well. She worked for me a long time. She would not be able to handle that position — she would not be able to handle the onslaught.” Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

Trump seemed to approve of the suggestion and nodded, according to the media outlet, and added, “she’s a killer.” Stefanik announced Wednesday that she would be joining Trump on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. “America will elect President Trump the next President to save America,” she wrote on social media. Plenty of potential veep contenders have gone through the rumor mill in recent months.
