"Legal Challenges to Trump's Ballot Eligibility Emerge in Multiple States"

A Kitsap County judge declined to hear a challenge to Donald Trump’s eligibility for the Washington state presidential primary ballot, suggesting that his courtroom was not the appropriate venue. The challenge, based on the insurrection clause in the 14th Amendment, will now be taken to Thurston County court. Trump's eligibility has been contested in multiple states due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack at the U.S. Capitol, with the U.S. Supreme Court set to hear a challenge to a ruling on this matter in February.
