"Trump Sues to Reverse Maine Ballot Disqualification, Ramaswamy Mulls Withdrawal"

Former President Donald Trump has appealed a decision by Maine's Secretary of State Shenna Bellows that disqualified him from appearing on the Republican presidential primary ballot due to the insurrection clause of the Constitution. Trump's legal team argues that Bellows was biased, denied him due process, and lacked the authority to make such a decision. The appeal follows similar challenges to Trump's eligibility in over two dozen states, with a notable decision in Colorado also keeping him off the ballot pending a potential U.S. Supreme Court review. Bellows' ruling was based on her conclusion that Trump's actions related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol disqualified him from holding office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
