Trump Disqualified from Colorado Ballot, GOP Criticizes

Donald Trump has been disqualified from the 2024 presidential ballot in Colorado due to the state Supreme Court's usage of the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause, which has been criticised by Republican Senator Bill Hagerty as a 'blatant political decision' that threatens democracy more than Trump's potential re-election. This decision could potentially apply to other states if upheld by the US Supreme Court. Trump's campaign, viewing this as an attempt to silence their political voice, has declared its intention to appeal the decision. This landmark ruling marks the first time a presidential candidate has been barred from a state primary ballot under the 14th Amendment.
