The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

This is a major victory for Trump. It's clear the attempt by Colorado and other states to declare the former president of being an insurrectionist and remove him from the ballot was nothing more than a political stunt because his opponents know they're unlikely to beat him in an election.

Anti-Trump narrative

The liberal justices' concurrence proved this isn't the resounding victory Trump and his inner circle claim it is. SCOTUS didn't exonerate Trump for his actions from Jan. 6 and the debate over whether an insurrection can run for office will continue. It's important to provide the full context of this ruling.
