"Trump's Eligibility Upheld on Colorado Ballot Despite 14th Amendment Challenge"

A Colorado judge has rejected an attempt to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 primary ballot, ruling that the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban" does not apply to presidents. The judge acknowledged that Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021, through incitement, but concluded that the ban on insurrectionists holding office does not include the presidency. This decision follows similar rulings in Minnesota and Michigan, and legal scholars believe these cases may eventually reach the US Supreme Court.
