Maine GOP Chair criticizes Secretary of State's decision as embarrassing

Trump's lawyers are filing appeals in Colorado and Maine to challenge disqualification.

In a potential game-changer for the 2024 election, Donald Trump's lawyers are awaiting two major appeals that could have far-reaching consequences. The appeals center around decisions disqualifying Trump from primary ballots in Colorado and Maine, with both cases challenging the 14th Amendment's insurrectionist ban. This legal gray area is being tested in an unprecedented manner, potentially leading the cases all the way to the Supreme Court.

The Maine Republican Party, in collaboration with the Trump team and other attorneys, is actively working on an appeal. While they have not specified the exact timing, an announcement is expected in the near future. Their aim is to challenge the decision made by Secretary of State Bellows, who removed Trump from the ballot based on complaints raised against his eligibility.
