"Democrats' Persistent Hopes to Oust Trump from Center Stage"

Democrats are once again hoping that American institutions will put an end to Donald Trump's political career, as he faces new threats over ballot eligibility. With multiple criminal cases and a recent ruling from Colorado's top court disqualifying Trump from holding office, Democrats are cautiously optimistic but also wary of the conservative majority in the Supreme Court. They view Trump as a threat to democracy and hope that these legal challenges will prevent his potential rematch against President Biden in the next election. However, past experiences have taught them to have low expectations and be pleasantly surprised if accountability is achieved.

"Trump's GOP Rivals Juggle Colorado Ruling and Ballot Eligibility Challenges in Other States"

Donald Trump's GOP rivals for the 2024 Republican nomination are facing a balancing act as they largely closed ranks around the former president following the Colorado Supreme Court ruling that he cannot appear on the state's primary ballot next year. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized the ruling, but also used it to question Trump's electability, arguing that nominating him would make the 2024 election about "all this legal stuff." DeSantis and other rivals must defend Trump's popularity with the party's base while making their own case for the party to move on. The ruling comes just weeks before the Iowa caucuses, leaving little time for rivals to change the race's trajectory.

"Trump's Ballot Access in Limbo as Secretary of State Delays Decision"

Maine's secretary of state, Shenna Bellows, has delayed a decision on whether to deny former President Donald Trump access to the state's presidential primary ballot after a Colorado court ruled that he is ineligible in that state. The delay allows both sides in the dispute to file additional arguments in light of the Colorado ruling, which challengers believe strengthens their case to disqualify Trump. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump is ineligible to appear on the primary ballot due to his involvement in the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Bellows is expected to issue a decision early next week.
