"Maine Secretary of State Faces Impeachment Threat and Criticism After Trump Ballot Decision"
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows deemed former President Donald Trump ineligible for the 2024 Republican primary ballot, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment related to insurrectionists. This decision led to a Republican lawmaker vowing to pursue her impeachment, which Bellows called "absurd," arguing she was following state law. The impeachment motion is seen as unlikely to succeed in the Democratic-controlled Legislature. Trump's team is expected to appeal the decision, while Bellows defends her actions as adherence to the rule of law amidst accusations of hyper-partisanship and voter suppression.
