"Legal Experts Argue for Trump's Disqualification from Future Presidential Ballots"

Former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot, along with two other former Republican governors, has filed a court brief supporting efforts to keep former President Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot, citing his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 riot as disqualifying under the 14th Amendment.
