"Debating Trump's Eligibility: Allies Clash Over 2024 Ballot Disqualification"

Allies and critics of former President Donald Trump clash over whether his actions during the Capitol riot disqualify him from seeking reelection in 2024, with legal battles playing out in various states and the Supreme Court. House Speaker Pelosi and former Rep. Cheney argue for disqualification, while Trump's supporters downplay the events of Jan. 6 and criticize efforts to bar him from the ballot. Revelations about Trump's conduct on Jan. 6 have emerged, with aides reportedly stating that he showed little interest in stopping the riot. Trump continues to downplay the violence and falsely describes the riot as "peaceful" during campaign stops, while expressing concern about conservative justices facing "pressure" in the legal battles.
