"Maine Judge Delays Trump Ballot Decision Pending Supreme Court Ruling on Presidential Immunity"

A Maine judge has delayed a decision on removing former President Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot, awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on a similar case in Colorado. Secretary of State Shenna Bellows had initially barred Trump from the ballot, citing the insurrection clause in the U.S. Constitution due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The judge's decision aims to minimize potential destabilization and promote predictability ahead of the primary election, as the U.S. Supreme Court's acceptance of the Colorado case could impact the outcome.
