Video: Trump Barred from 2024 Presidential Race as Colorado Supreme Court Takes Historic Step
In a groundbreaking move, the Colorado Supreme Court has ousted Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot, setting the stage for a potential clash in the US Supreme Court. The decision, fueled by accusations of inciting Capitol riots, is a pivotal moment as the former US leader gears up for a 2024 presidential bid.
As the Trump campaign vows to contest the ruling, the legal battle intensifies, with the fate of the Republican frontrunner hanging in the balance. The Colorado Supreme Court's 4-3 decision, invoking Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, marks the first instance in history that this provision has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.
The race against time adds to the drama, as Colorado officials must resolve the matter by January 5, the deadline for printing presidential primary ballots. Trump's spokesperson Steven Cheung denounces the decision as "deeply undemocratic," promising a swift appeal to the US Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay.
Discover the unprecedented legal labyrinth Trump faces, with dozens of lawsuits nationally seeking to disqualify him under Section 3—an amendment crafted to prevent former Confederates from returning to power post-Civil War. The Colorado Supreme Court's move, although not impacting Trump's chances in the state, raises concerns about a potential domino effect as more courts and election officials may follow suit, excluding him from crucial battleground states.
Stay tuned as Trump's political future hangs in the balance, with the nation watching to see if the US Supreme Court will uphold or overturn this historic decision. The repercussions could reshape the landscape of the 2024 presidential race.
