US gears up for Super Tuesday: Voters choose candidates for president
Donald Trump is describing a Supreme Court ruling which allows him to run for re-election in the state of Colorado as ‘a big win for America.’
The ruling is set to allow the former president to stay on ballots nationwide.
The highest court in Colorado had disqualified him from the ballot there for being an ‘insurrectionist’.
Trump denies orchestrating the attack on the Capitol three years ago after claiming Joe Biden stole the election from him.
The announcement was made on the eve of ‘Super Tuesday’ when the former president is expected to cement his claim for the Republican nomination.
15 states in the US, including delegate rich California and Texas, will cast their votes in presidential primaries and caucuses.
It’s a day that can often decide the candidates for the Republican and Democratic parties.
But this year, Joe Biden and Donald Trump face little challenge in their nomination contests.
Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reports from Raleigh in one of the Super Tuesday states, North Carolina.
