TL;DR Summary

A Colorado judge is set to hear closing arguments on whether former President Donald Trump should be barred from the ballot under a provision of the U.S. Constitution that prohibits those who "engaged in insurrection" from holding office. The judge will have 48 hours to rule after the arguments, which come after two recent losses for advocates seeking to remove Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment. The cases in Colorado, Michigan, and Minnesota are considered the most advanced, and whatever ruling is made in Colorado is likely to be appealed to the state and potentially the U.S. Supreme Court.
