President Joe Biden on Wednesday declared Donald Trump to be an insurrectionist, but said it would be up to the courts to decide if that disqualifies him from running for office again.
Biden made the remarks from Joint Base Andrews while traveling to Wisconsin after being asked about the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to bar Trump from the ballot for participating in an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
"Mr. President, your reaction to the Colorado ruling on Trump and the ballot?" Biden was asked.
"That's up to the court," the president replied. "That's all I'm going to say."
"Is Trump an insurrectionist, sir?" a reporter pressed.
"Well, I think, certainly, you're self-evident," Biden said. "You saw it all. I don't know whether the 14th Amendment applies or let the court make that decision."
"But he certainly supported an insurrection," he added. "There's no question about it. None. Zero. And he seems to be doubling down on about everything."
