Oregon Supreme Court Delays Decision on Removing Trump from Primary Ballot

The Oregon Supreme Court has decided to allow former President Donald Trump to remain on the state's 2024 primary election ballot, deferring a decision on his eligibility until after the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a similar challenge from Colorado. Challengers in over 30 states have filed lawsuits claiming Trump is ineligible under the 14th Amendment due to his alleged involvement in the insurrection. The lawsuits vary in legal strategy, and the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in the appeal of the Colorado case on Feb. 8. Oregon's presidential primary ballots must be finalized by March 21, and the court's decision leaves the door open for further legal action depending on the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling.
