- The Colorado Supreme Court decided that it is unconstitutional for former President Donald Trump to run in the state’s primary the following year.
- The decision is the result of a case centered on a little-known clause in the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. Attempts to do the same in other states have failed.
- According to the majority of the court, President Trump is unable to serve as president under Section Three of the US Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment.
- Trump’s name cannot appear on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, and any write-in votes submitted in support of him cannot be tallied by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold.
- The ruling was postponed until January 4th to give time for more appeals. In the event that the case is taken to the US Supreme Court before then, the halt will last for that duration, and Colorado will have to put Trump’s name on the primary ballot while the Court considers its options.
- Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung criticized the decision and hinted at an impending appeal to the US Supreme Court.
- The GOP presidential primary in Colorado is set on March 5. Trump’s personal attorney, Alina Habba, stated that the decision “attacks the very heart of this nation’s democracy.”
- This unlawful decree will not survive, and we have faith that the Supreme Court will overturn it.” The attempts to take him off the ballot have been referred to by Trump as “nonsense” and “election interference.”
