    Most, if not all, of the legal talking heads on both sides of the aisle (not counting MAGA morons looking for soundbytes) have said that the SC upholding Colorado’s ruling that he engaged in insurrection and is therefore disqualified from the ballot would be binding nationwide, which means he’d be disqualified everywhere as the Supreme Court would be confirming that he is Constitutionally disqualified from office. He wouldn’t be able to stay in the race at all. If the Supreme Court overturns Colorado, then Trump stays on everywhere.

    It’s why so many states that are also weighing in on the subject have either refused to rule on the matter pending the SC decision, or have stayed their own rulings pending the SC decision. He’s either going to be on it everywhere or nowhere.
