A lawsuit in Colorado is challenging former President Donald Trump's eligibility for the state's presidential ballot next year.

The suit says he shouldn't be allowed to run for president because he allegedly violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars someone who"engaged in insurrection or
