Colorado Supreme Court Removes Trump from 2024 Ballot, Sparking Controversy

The Supreme Court in Colorado has ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from holding office due to his role in the January 6 Capitol riot. This decision blocks Trump from appearing on the ballot in Colorado for the 2024 presidential election. Trump's team plans to appeal the ruling to the US Supreme Court, which has a conservative majority. This makes Trump the first presidential candidate in US history to be considered ineligible for the White House under a provision of the Constitution that bars officials who have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" from holding office.
