Supreme Court Declines to Hear Cases Seeking to Disqualify Trump from 2024 Ballot Over Alleged Role in Capitol Riot

Multiple lawsuits have argued that Trump should be barred from the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment's "Disqualification Clause" due to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021 riot.
One such case brought by Republican presidential candidate John Anthony Castro was rejected by the Supreme Court without comment.
Lower courts have also dismissed similar 14th Amendment challenges to Trump's eligibility.
Legal experts remain divided on whether the 14th Amendment can be applied to Trump's actions relating to the Capitol attack.
Trump maintains he is still eligible to run and dismisses the lawsuits as baseless political attacks.
