"Colorado Trial Examines Whether 14th Amendment Can Prevent Trump's 2024 Ballot Eligibility"

Lawyers argue that Donald Trump should be disqualified from running for president again due to his role in the 2021 Capitol assault, citing a Civil War-era provision in the US Constitution. Advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has launched a lawsuit in Colorado, seeking to block Trump from running in the state and potentially in other states as well. Trump's lawyers deny that he incited violence and argue that disqualifying him based on untested legal theories would set a dangerous precedent. Legal experts believe the strategy is unlikely to succeed, especially given the conservative majority in the Supreme Court.
