Illinois Judge Bars Trump from 2024 Primary Ballot

A judge in Cook County, Illinois, has ruled that the 14th Amendment bars former President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot, overruling a previous decision by the Illinois State Board of Elections. The ruling is stayed pending appeal, and the broader dispute is expected to be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court. The challenge is based on Trump's conduct after the 2020 election, with supporters arguing that his actions make him ineligible to hold office again, while Trump denies any wrongdoing.
