Trump fights to stay on 2024 ballot amid insurrection clause challenges

  • Liberal groups file lawsuits in multiple states seeking to bar Trump from the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause due to his role in the January 6 attack.
  • Trump's attorneys argue the insurrection clause does not apply to him and that his speech about the 2020 election is protected under the First Amendment.
  • The cases are likely to reach the Supreme Court, which has never ruled on this clause of the 14th Amendment before.
  • Republican John Anthony Castro pursues backup plan targeting both red and blue states if the Supreme Court does not intervene.
  • Legal experts predict the efforts to remove Trump from the ballot will ultimately fail.
