Trump,Legal Challenges,Disqualification

Former President Trump faces legal challenges in multiple states as he argues against calls for his disqualification from the 2024 election ballot for inciting the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.

’s arguments against calls for him to be disqualified from the 2024 election ballot for inciting the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection as he desperately sought to cling to the presidency are “absurd.”

Trump faces legal challenges in multiple states that claim he shouldn’t appear on their ballots under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bans anyone who engaged in insurrection against the Constitution from holding office.

Trump’s claim it “might apply to a county commissioner in New Mexico, but it doesn’t apply to him, because it doesn’t apply to the president” is “an absurd argument,” he added.
