Colorado’s Supreme Court made history, directing Donald Trump’s removal from the 2024 presidential ballot, deeming him constitutionally unfit for future office due to alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

Trump’s campaign plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision, unprecedented among state supreme courts, asserts sufficient evidence linking Trump to the insurrection. Dissenting justices questioned procedural fairness.

The ruling, temporarily halted, awaits potential U.S. Supreme Court review. Trump’s eligibility challenge, rooted in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, engaged Colorado’s courts in a fast-tracked legal battle with national implications.
