"Judge Disqualifies Trump from Illinois Primary Ballot Over January 6 Role"

An Illinois state judge has ruled to disqualify Donald Trump from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot due to his involvement in the U.S. Capitol insurrection, citing violation of the 14th Amendment. The ruling is expected to be appealed, and similar challenges in other states may also reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump's campaign has denounced the decision as unconstitutional and plans to appeal. This comes after Colorado and Maine also removed Trump from their ballots under the same constitutional clause, with the Supreme Court currently considering Trump's challenge to the Colorado disqualification.
