Michigan Court of Appeals Allows Trump on 2024 Primary Ballot

Court upholds lower court rulings, does not rule on 14th Amendment insurrection clause

Michigan's Court of Appeals has ruled that former President Donald Trump can remain on the state's 2024 Republican primary ballot, rejecting challenges based on the 14th Amendment.
The court upheld two lower court rulings without determining whether Trump falls under the insurrection clause of the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
The court stated that the decision of who to place on the primary ballot is determined by the political parties and the individual candidates.
The court did not rule on Trump's possible spot on a general election ballot, stating it was not ripe for consideration.
Similar rulings have been made by the Minnesota Supreme Court and a Colorado district court judge, allowing Trump to remain on their state's primary ballots.
