TL;DR Summary

An Illinois judge has ruled to bar Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot, citing his involvement in the Capitol riot as a violation of the 14th Amendment. The ruling is on hold pending appeal, and the final decision may be made by the US Supreme Court. This comes after Colorado and Maine also removed Trump from their primary ballots for similar reasons. Trump's spokesperson has vowed to appeal, and the Supreme Court has shown skepticism towards the decisions to ban him from the ballot. Additionally, the Supreme Court will hear a case involving Trump's immunity from a lawsuit over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
