Re: Trump’s Troubles
Quote:
Donald Trump ineligible for the US presidency under constitution's insurrection clause, Colorado Supreme Court rules
The ruling comes as the former US leader prepares to run for the presidency in 2024.
Trump is accused of inciting riots at the US Capitol Building in an effort to overturn the result after he lost the US election in 2020.
The ruling in Colorado sets up a likely showdown in the US Supreme Court, which has the final say on constitutional matters, to decide whether the front-runner for the Republican nomination can remain in the race for the White House.
The Trump campaign has already said it will appeal to the US Supreme Court.
Trump lost Colorado by 13 percentage points in 2020 and doesn't need the state to win next year's presidential election.
But the danger for the former president is that more courts and election officials will follow Colorado's lead and exclude Trump from must-win states.
