Colorado Supreme Court Disqualifies Trump from 2024 Ballot Due to Jan. 6 Riot

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from holding the presidency under the Constitution's insurrection clause, making it the first time a court has found him ineligible to return to the White House due to his conduct surrounding the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The court ordered the secretary of state to exclude Trump's name from the state's Republican presidential primary ballot, but the ruling only applies to Colorado. Trump is likely to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, setting up a high-stakes showdown over his eligibility to run.
