TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of Donald Trump, allowing him to remain on the Colorado ballot for the Republican presidential nomination despite a challenge under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment related to his actions around the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The court held that only Congress has the power to enforce the provision against federal officeholders and candidates, ensuring Trump's candidacy in all 50 states and effectively ending the constitutional challenge. The decision was celebrated by Trump, but criticized by some, including the three liberal justices, who disagreed with the majority's determination that only Congress can enforce Section 3.
