Former President Donald Trump is ineligible to run in the 2024 Presidential election, as per a groundbreaking ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court. Citing the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment, the court declared Trump disqualified due to his actions surrounding the 2021 Capitol attack. It marks the first instance in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate. Despite this, the court has stayed the decision, allowing Trump to appeal before January 4. The ruling could set a precedent, with concerns that other states might follow suit. Trump, a prominent figure in the 2024 Republican presidential race, plans to appeal the decision amidst growing legal challenges across the country. Recent polling indicates widespread support for Trump among self-identified Republicans, further fueling his influence in the upcoming contest.
