Former President Donald Trump is projected to win the Colorado Republican primary on Super Tuesday, just days after the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the state could not disqualify him from the ballot.

The Associated Press called the race for Trump, who claimed 62.9% of the vote as of 10:30 p.m. with 93% of the vote reporting. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley trailed with 33.7%.

The Colorado Supreme Court had determined that Trump was ineligible to appear on the ballot under the 14th Amendment's "insurrection" clause due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, capitol riot.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that states could not disqualify him under the 14th Amendment.
