Maine Court Delays Trump Ballot Decision Pending Supreme Court Ruling
The Maine Superior Court has temporarily allowed former President Donald Trump to appear on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot, pending a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a similar case from Colorado. The court's decision puts on hold the state secretary's ruling that Trump is not qualified to hold the presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars individuals who engage in insurrection from holding public office. The Supreme Court's forthcoming ruling in the Colorado case will likely have implications for Trump's eligibility to appear on primary ballots across the country.
