"Trump Challenges Maine Ballot Disqualification in Court"

Former President Donald J. Trump's legal team has filed an appeal against the decision by Maine's Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, to exclude him from the state's Republican primary ballot, citing the 14th Amendment. The appeal argues Bellows was biased and lacked legal authority to rule on federal constitutional issues. Maine is the second state after Colorado to rule Trump ineligible for the primary ballot due to alleged insurrection involvement. The case may escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court, affecting similar challenges in other states.
