"Trump Escalates Colorado Ballot Fight to Supreme Court"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump has taken his disqualification from Colorado's Republican primary ballot to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump was ineligible under the Fourteenth Amendment's disqualification clause due to his involvement in the January 6 insurrection. Trump's legal team argues that the presidency is not covered by this provision and that Congress, not the judiciary, has the authority to determine presidential eligibility. The case presents a significant constitutional question as the 2024 election approaches, with Trump's eligibility for office being contested in multiple states.
