LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe U.S. Supreme Court overruled a Colorado court’s decision barring Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 presidential ballot in an unsigned and unanimous decision on Monday. The Colorado Supreme Court had ruled Dec. 19 that Trump’s actions in support of the Jan. 6 insurrection disqualified him from the ballot. AdvertisementThe Supreme Court disagreed, arguing that states do not have the ability under the 14th Amendment to disqualify candidates for federal office. The decision came the day before Colorado’s Republican presidential primary election, which the state’s top court had ordered Trump disqualified from. When it issued its ruling in December, the Colorado Supreme Court acknowledged the enormity of such a decision.
