TL;DR Summary

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has faced threats after removing Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot, citing a 14th Amendment clause against those involved in insurrection. Maine is the second state to take such action, following Colorado. The decision has been met with criticism from Maine's senators and Trump's campaign, which called the move unconstitutional. An appeal is expected, while Trump faces an indictment over his role in the January 6 Capitol attack.
