TL;DR Summary

Maine Governor Janet Mills has stated that the question of former President Donald Trump's eligibility for the state's primary ballot, following a ban by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows due to alleged insurrection involvement, should be settled by the courts. Trump has appealed the decision, which is currently under a tight review schedule with a deadline of January 17 set by the Maine Superior Court. The case could potentially escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Bellows has faced threats and a swatting incident, and a Republican lawmaker has introduced a resolution to impeach her over the decision. The primary election in Maine is scheduled for March 5.
