Michigan Court Upholds Trump's Spot on 2024 Primary Ballot

The Michigan Court of Appeals has rejected challenges to former President Donald Trump's inclusion on the state's 2024 Republican primary ballot, dismissing arguments that his involvement in the Capitol attack disqualifies him. The court cited Michigan law, stating that the decision of who appears on the primary ballot is determined by the political parties and individual candidates. The court did not address whether Trump falls under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment. The decision is similar to a ruling by the Minnesota Supreme Court, and it is likely that one of the lawsuits will be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
