"State Supreme Courts and Trump's Ballot Eligibility: A Legal Showdown"

The Oregon Supreme Court is considering a lawsuit to remove Donald Trump from the state's 2024 ballots under the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban," with conflicting outcomes in other states and a pending US Supreme Court appeal. The challenge is based on Trump's alleged incitement of the January 6 insurrection, and the court is reviewing arguments about standing and the secretary of state's role in vetting candidate qualifications. While the impact of removing Trump from the primary ballot may be limited due to the timing of Oregon's GOP contest, the decision could have broader implications for Trump's candidacy.
