Michigan Court Upholds Trump's Placement on Primary Ballot

The Michigan Court of Appeals has rejected challenges to former President Donald Trump's inclusion on the state's 2024 Republican primary ballot, stating that the decision of who appears on the ballot is determined by political parties and individual candidates. The court did not address whether Trump's role in the Capitol attack disqualifies him under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment. Similar to a decision in Minnesota, the ruling may be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"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.
