TL;DR Summary

Legal challenges to Donald Trump's eligibility on the 2024 Republican primary ballots are underway in multiple states, with lawsuits arguing that his actions during the Capitol attack constituted an insurrection.

The Supreme Court may ultimately decide the issue, but the timing and outcome of their decision remain uncertain.
