"Supreme Court Faces Pressure as Trump's Ballot Access Battles Spark Constitutional Debate"

Efforts to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on primary ballots due to his alleged involvement in the January 6 insurrection are ongoing, with the Colorado Supreme Court and Maine's secretary of state ruling against his eligibility under the 14th Amendment's "insurrection clause." These decisions are currently appealed and pending further review, with the U.S. Supreme Court's potential involvement being a critical factor. The situation has led to a complex legal and political debate, with the possibility of Trump being excluded from some state ballots in the GOP primary, though most attempts to use the 14th Amendment against him have failed so far. The Supreme Court's decision could have significant implications for the presidential race, and the issue has further solidified Trump's support among Republicans, who largely view the legal challenges as politically motivated.
