TL;DR Summary

Campaigners in multiple states have filed challenges to have Donald Trump removed from the 2024 presidential ballot, arguing that his actions on the day of the Capitol attack violated the 14th Amendment. A Colorado district judge ruled that Trump engaged in insurrection but allowed him to remain on the primary ballot due to uncertainty about whether the constitutional amendment applies to the presidency. Similar challenges have been made in Minnesota and Michigan, with mixed outcomes. Experts believe that the case may eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court, and the ruling in Colorado has already had an impact on ongoing appeals. Colorado could be a crucial state for Trump in the 2024 race, as it has matched the eventual election winner in all but one election since 2000.
