Top GOP lawmakers, including Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump to the Supreme Court. They questioned if he was an insurrectionist.

In a legal brief filed Thursday, 179 Republican politicians urged the court to overturn a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that kicked Trump off the 2024 ballot because it found he violated the 14th Amendment’s Section 3, which bans those who “engaged in” insurrection from running.
