The Colorado Supreme Court made a historic decision on Tuesday that could have major implications for the 2024 presidential election. The court ruled that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on Colorado’s primary ballot next year based on constitutional grounds.
The court said that it would be a “wrongful act” for the Colorado Secretary of State to list Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot. The decision was made by a 4-3 majority and is paused until January 4th, one day before the deadline for certifying the candidates for the state’s March 5 primary.
The ruling comes after Trump’s campaign said he would ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the decision. If Trump does so, the pause on the decision will remain in place. The ruling also sets up a high-stakes showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court.
