Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson in an effort to ensure his name appears on the 2024 presidential ballot. Trump’s lawsuit claims that Benson has not responded to a letter from his campaign requesting confirmation that his name would be included on the list of candidates for the Republican primary.
The lawsuit also argues that Benson does not have the authority to keep Trump off the ballot. Benson has previously stated that she would not remove Trump from the ballot, and published an opinion piece in The Washington Post last month affirming her decision.
Trump’s legal team is seeking a court ruling that would declare Benson does not have the authority to keep Trump off the ballot. The lawsuit has created uncertainty about how President Trump will allocate resources, as the Secretary of State’s failure to respond has yet to be addressed.
Several legal groups have filed lawsuits in multiple states, including Michigan, claiming that Trump should be disqualified from office under the 14th Amendment due to his role in the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. It is unclear how the court will rule on Trump’s lawsuit, and whether or not he will be allowed to appear on the ballot for the 2024 election.
