Former President Donald Trump faces disqualification from Colorado's Republican primary, with the state's top court's historic 4-3 ruling holding him ineligible for the presidency due to his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Marking the first use of a constitutional provision barring officials engaged in "insurrection or rebellion," the decision could influence Trump's status in the general election. Although Trump vows to appeal to the U.S.
Supreme Court, the ruling raises broader implications for disqualifying him under the 14th Amendment's Section 3. Colorado justices assert Trump's instigation of Capitol violence warrants disqualification, acknowledging the uncharted territory of their decision. The case may test the U.S. Supreme Court's stance on Trump's eligibility and sparks debates on procedural due process.
