TL;DR

The trial to determine whether Donald Trump will be allowed on Colorado's ballot began with both sides arguing that American democracy is at stake. The plaintiffs seek to tie Trump to the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021, and prevent him from running for office based on the 14th Amendment.

The case could potentially reach the state or federal Supreme Court.
