Legal Battle Ensues Over Trump's Eligibility for 2024 Ballot

Efforts to prevent Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 presidential ballot as an insurrectionist are set to be heard in court, starting with a case in Colorado. Advocates argue that Trump's role in inciting the January 6th attack on the US Capitol falls under the 14th amendment's provision that disqualifies individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding public office. Hearings in Colorado and Minnesota this week could potentially reach the US Supreme Court, with the rulings likely to be appealed. While legal experts consider the cases to be long shots, they raise important constitutional questions and have a plausible legal path to success.
