Former President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a landmark decision by Colorado's top court that ruled him ineligible from appearing on that state's primary ballot.
Trump's appeal to the nation's high court, filed Wednesday, was expected after the Colorado Supreme Court last month barred the former president from the ballot because of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election that ended with the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The court cited a section of the 14th Amendment, which says candidates are ineligible from holding public office if they've "engaged in insurrection."
