"Supreme Court Faces Pressure to Rule on Trump's 2024 Ballot Eligibility Amid Constitutional Debate"

Maine Governor Janet Mills has stated that the question of former President Donald Trump's eligibility for the state's primary ballot, following a ban by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows due to alleged insurrection involvement, should be settled by the courts. Trump has appealed the decision, which is currently under a tight review schedule with a deadline of January 17 set by the Maine Superior Court. The case could potentially escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Bellows has faced threats and a swatting incident, and a Republican lawmaker has introduced a resolution to impeach her over the decision. The primary election in Maine is scheduled for March 5.
