In a latest development, former President Donald Trump has filed an appeal to overturn a ruling by Colorado's Hyde Court that declared him ineligible to appear on the state's primary ballot. The court's ruling had found that Trump had engaged in an insurrection, leading to his disqualification. The appeal has created new pressure on the nine justices involved in the case to settle the matter before it potentially creates chaos in a presidential election year.
The appeal not only challenges the Colorado ruling but also contests a decision in Maine that removed Trump from its ballot. Trump's legal team is claiming several grounds for reversal, including the argument that January 6th was not an insurrection and that Trump was not involved in it. They further argue that questions of presidential eligibility should be left for Congress to resolve.
