TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump is facing a legal battle in Colorado as a group of voters seeks to disqualify him from the state's ballot for the 2024 presidential election based on the 14th Amendment, which prohibits public officials engaged in "insurrection" from holding federal office. A judge in a lower court found that while Trump's actions contributed to the Capitol riots, he could not be disqualified.

Similar efforts to block Trump in Minnesota and Michigan have failed.
