The Supreme Court cleared the way on Monday for Donald Trump to appear on 2024 presidential ballots, rejecting a legal attempt to bar the Republican front-runner from the Colorado primary ballot over his push to undercut American democracy after his 2020 election loss.
In a unanimous ruling, the justices struck down a Colorado Supreme Court decision that had deemed him ineligible for the state primary ballot and had found that he was disqualified from the presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, known as the Insurrection Clause.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution “makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.”
