Trump Ineligible for 2024 Ballot Over Capitol Riot Actions, Colorado Supreme Court Rules
  • 4 months ago
The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot due to his actions related to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. This decision, which passed with a 4-to-3 majority, is based on a clause in the 14th Amendment that disqualifies individuals from holding office if they have engaged in insurrection after taking an oath to defend the Constitution. The ruling could set a precedent affecting his eligibility in more critical states and the general election.
