Supreme Court rules unanimously for Trump in Colorado ballot disqualification dispute

The U.S. Supreme Court sided unanimously with former President Trump in his challenge to the state of Colorado’s attempt to kick him off the 2024 primary ballot. All nine justices ruled in favor of Trump in the case, which will impact the status of efforts in several other states to remove the likely GOP nominee from their respective ballots.

Colorado's Secretary of State Jena Griswold issued a statement Monday on the opinion saying, 'The United States Supreme Court has ruled that states do not have the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates.' 'In accordance with this decision, Donald Trump is an eligible candidate on Colorado’s 2024 Presidential Primary,' she said.

These are difficult questions, and you look right at Section 5 of the 14th Amendment ... and that tells you Congress has the primary role here,' Kavanaugh said. 'I think what's different is the processes, the definition, who decides questions really jump out at you when you look at Section 3.' Chief Justice John Roberts questioned Colorado’s attorney Jason Murray about the 'consequences' of the state’s position.
