The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former US President Donald Trump is disqualified from participating in the 2024 Republican presidential primary because of his involvement in the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol. The publication writes about it New York Times.
According to journalists, this decision is likely to determine the contours of the situation in the 2024 US presidential elections. The Colorado Supreme Court is said to be the first in the country to find that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies people who engage in rebellion against the Constitution after taking an oath to uphold it, applies to Trump. Politician's opponents are guided by the same argument.
"A majority of justices find that President Trump is ineligible to serve as president under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution," - the judges wrote in the decision.
It is noted that Trump's campaign headquarters immediately announced that it would appeal this decision to the US Supreme Court. Colorado judges anticipated this, and therefore postponed the ruling until January. It is noted that the court order can be applied only to one state, it can force the Supreme Court of the country to update it for all states.
"We have every confidence that the US Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these anti-American lawsuits." said Stephen Chung, a spokesman for the Trump campaign.
