A judge in Cook County, Illinois, ruled Wednesday that former President Donald Trump should be taken off of the state's primary ballot because of his role in the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter said that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, commonly referred to as the "insurrection clause," prohibits Trump from appearing on the 2024 Republican primary ballot. The Illinois primary is on March 19.
