"Trump's Legal Battles: From State Ballots to the Supreme Court"
TL;DR
Donald Trump's lawyers are appealing a ruling that removed his name from the Illinois Republican primary ballot due to his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The judge found that Trump engaged in insurrection, based on a similar ruling in Colorado, and ordered his name off the ballot. Trump's attorneys argue that the ruling is without basis and contrary to existing Illinois law. The decision is on hold pending appeal, but if upheld, it would have minimal impact on Trump's bid for the GOP nomination at the Republican National Convention in July.
