He mentioned Trump’s team’s appeal to a court in Maine against Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ ruling that excluded him from the vote based on the 14th Amendment. A similar situation occurred in Colorado, where a group of Republicans challenged a similar decision that prevented Trump from participating in the elections.

Abrams sparred with Stephanopoulos about the chances of the Supreme Court taking up Trump’s legal challenge to the Maine and Colorado rulings. He expressed confidence that the Supreme Court will take up the case, noting that Trump’s team has several arguments, including issues of due process, definition and the need for congressional action.
Stephanopoulos highlighted the Supreme Court’s reluctance to intervene in elections, suggesting it may be difficult to defend the Maine and Colorado decisions. Abrams agreed, but argued that Trump has valid legal arguments such as lack of due process, emphasizing that if the Supreme Court accepts any of these arguments, Trump will emerge victorious.
