Maine has become the second state to declare Donald Trump ineligible to appear on the 2024 ballot. Trump is considered likely to appeal the decision, as he will in Colorado.
Colorado Republicans appealed the state s Supreme Court decision to remove Trump from the ballot in showdown over insurrection and the meaning of the 14th Amendment.
There were two fundamental flaws in the Colorado Supreme Court’s 4-3 decision removing former President Donald Trump from the Colorado 2024 election ballot. The first was that the justices reversed the lower court without seriously addressing the issue the lower court found decisive. The second was that the proceeding, like some others against the former President, did not grant him adequate due process.
Donald Trump is back on the presidential ballot in Colorado after an appeal put a stay on the ruling that removed him under an insurrection clause of the U.S. Constitution.
