"Supreme Court to Decide on Trump's Ballot Eligibility Amid Constitutional Debate"

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case on whether former President Donald Trump can be barred from appearing on the Colorado Republican primary ballot due to his actions surrounding the January 6 Capitol attack. This decision, based on the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause, could have national implications for Trump's eligibility to run for federal office. The case is set for an expedited hearing on February 8, with potential consequences for both the primaries and the general election. The outcome could also influence other states' decisions and set a precedent for future candidate eligibility disputes.
