Colorado Supreme Court to Hear Trump Insurrection Appeal

The court's decision could determine Trump's eligibility for the 2024 presidential ballot in Colorado.

Donald Trump is appealing a Colorado ruling that he engaged in insurrection after the 2020 election, risking an appeal court decision that could have him removed from the state's ballot.
The Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to hear the two appeals together, with oral arguments scheduled to begin on December 6.
District Judge Sarah B. Wallace ruled that Trump had incited the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, but that he could stay on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election.
The anti-Trump plaintiffs filed their appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court on Monday in the hope of having his name removed from the ballot.
Similar efforts to remove Trump from the ballot have been rejected in Michigan and Minnesota.
