"Supreme Court to Interpret 14th Amendment in Deciding Trump's 2024 Ballot Eligibility"

Donald Trump is preparing to legally contest the decisions made by Maine and Colorado to remove his name from their primary ballots, arguing that the states' interpretations of the 14th Amendment—which aims to prevent those who have engaged in insurrection from holding office—are incorrect. The legal battle raises questions about states' rights to interpret constitutional matters and the role of the judiciary versus the electorate in deciding election outcomes. Trump's team anticipates that the conservative-leaning Supreme Court may eventually hear the case, while critics argue that voters should determine election results, not state officials or courts. The situation is creating a complex mix of legal, constitutional, and political tensions as Trump continues to face various legal challenges related to his actions surrounding the January 6 Capitol riot.
