Biden comes out ahead whether SCOTUS leaves Trump on the ballot or not: GOP strategist

In a column for MSNBC, GOP political strategist Susan Del Percio suggested that the battle to keep Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado — and likely other states — should benefit President Joe Biden no matter which way the predominately conservative Supreme Court eventually rules.

With the nation's highest court punting the former president's appeal of the Colorado ruling back to the Court of Appeals before considering it — which is expected no matter which way they rule — Del Perico claimed Trump's ballot problems will do little to bring much-needed new voters into his camp.

Put more simply, she wrote, "it isn’t so much that the Colorado ruling is good for Trump; it just doesn’t hurt him."

With that in mind, she notes that the wavering voters that both Biden and Trump will be courting will never vote for the four-time indicted former president.

"Whatever the Supreme Court rules, the decision will tear this country apart. If Trump is allowed to be on the ballot in Colorado, half of the country will be outraged, and if Trump is barred from being on the ballot, the other half of the country with be irate," she predicted. "Either way, millions of Americans will view this decision as an attack on democracy. Trump voters will remain just as loyal and motivated as before. However, with the issue of democracy front and center, Biden can once again run on protecting the republic."

According to Del Percio, a Trump win at the Supreme Court will be a wake-up call to voters that they can't depend on the courts to keep Trump from being elected again and it will be up to them.

"The Biden campaign has been looking for an opportunity to engage and motivate his 2020 voters, and democracy is it," she wrote before adding, "The Supreme Court’s decision will reignite the voters that Biden so desperately needs. So which candidate are these decisions good for? In the long run, it is Biden."
