Supreme Court to Decide on Trump's 2024 Ballot Eligibility

Former President Trump and over 170 Republican leaders challenge efforts to remove him from the 2024 presidential ballot, arguing against his classification as an insurrectionist under the 14th Amendment.

  • Former President Donald Trump is challenging efforts to remove him from the 2024 presidential ballot in multiple states, arguing that he did not engage in an insurrection on January 6, 2021, and that the 14th Amendment cannot be invoked to bar him from the ballot.
  • The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case determining if the Constitution disqualifies Trump from the ballot, marking the first time in American history that the court will rule on the 'insurrection clause' of the 14th Amendment.
  • Trump's legal team argues that the 14th Amendment does not apply to the presidency and that he did not engage in an insurrection against the United States.
  • Trump also believes the Supreme Court will rule in his favor by keeping him on the 2024 primary ballots across the nation, stating that the justices are 'not going to take the vote away from the people.'
  • More than 170 Republican House and Senate leaders have also filed an amicus brief in support of Trump's case before the Supreme Court.
