In a test of legal wits and political drama, Oregon's Supreme Court is poised to make a consequential decision this week that could have ripple effects for the 2024 primary ballot. At the center of this legal tug-of-war is the polarizing figure of former President Trump, as the justices grapple with a lawsuit seeking to remove him from the state's primary ballot.
The group behind the lawsuit argues that Trump's actions on January 6th, during the infamous Capitol attack, render him ineligible to run for office again. They lean on the 14th Amendment's insurrectionist ban as their legal weapon, alleging that Trump's role in inciting the events of that fateful day disqualifies him from seeking future political office.
