Maine has become the second US state to disqualify Donald Trump from a 2024 presidential primary election ballot over his role in the attack on the Capitol in January 2021.
The state’s Democrat Secretary of State Shenna Bellows concluded that Mr Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, incited an insurrection when he spread false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election and then urged his supporters to march on the US Capitol to stop lawmakers from certifying the vote.
