"Trump's Supreme Court Challenge Risks Colorado Ballot Eligibility"

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has argued to the Supreme Court that the 14th Amendment's prohibition against individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding office should not prevent Trump from running for or being elected to the presidency, despite a Colorado Supreme Court ruling removing him from the primary ballot over his alleged role in the Capitol riot. Legal experts, including former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade, suggest this could lead to a scenario where Trump could win the election but be barred from serving, potentially leaving his running mate to assume the presidency. The Supreme Court's decision on the matter is pending, with some expecting the Court to avoid a direct ruling on the merits of the case.
