The highest court in Colorado found that Donald Trump's involvement in insurgency leading up to the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill storm prevented him from serving as president again. This dramatic decision has the potential to reach the nation's highest court and adds legal uncertainty to the 2024 presidential race, which the former president is leading as a Republican.
The ruling determined that Trump cannot be featured on the state's presidential primary ballot because he is disqualified from office according to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states that one cannot serve if they rebel against the Constitution after swearing to support it. The Trump team plans to take the case to the highest court in the land in an appeal.
Three justices appointed by Trump make up the court's conservative majority of 6-3. The Supreme Court's decision might affect Trump's eligibility in every state if they decide to hear the issue./BGNES
