One of the states, Colorado, had argued that Trump’s behavior leading to the January 6 Capitol riots amounted to an “insurrection,” and as a result, he should be removed from the state’s ballot.

 

However, the supreme Court ruled otherwise as it said: “We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”

Reacting to the ruling, Colorado’s Secretary of State Jena Griswold issued a statement Monday, saying, “The United States Supreme Court has ruled that states do not have the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates.”

 

“In accordance with this decision, Donald Trump is an eligible candidate on Colorado’s 2024 Presidential Primary.”

 

Trump reacted to the ruling in a post on Truth Social, saying, “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!”
