"Legal Battles Over Trump's Eligibility for Re-election Extend to Minnesota and Colorado"

Oral arguments are set to take place before the Minnesota Supreme Court as part of efforts to prevent former President Donald Trump from running for the White House again in 2024. Similar cases are also unfolding in Colorado. The lawsuits aim to bar Trump from state ballots over his role in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. The central argument is that Section Three of the 14th Amendment disqualifies anyone who previously engaged in insurrection from holding office. The Minnesota case seeks to keep Trump off the ballot for the state's March 5th primary, while the Colorado case is further along in the legal process. Both cases could potentially reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
