US Supreme Court to decide on Donald Trump’s eligibility for presidential run
Live MintUS Presidential Polls 2024: The Supreme Court said on Friday that the court will decide whether former President Donald Trump can be excluded from the ballot due to his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, thereby firmly involving the court in the dynamics of the upcoming 2024 presidential campaign. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear Trump's appeal in a Colorado case, stemming from his involvement in the events leading up to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. In a narrow 4-3 decision last month, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump should be excluded from the Republican primary ballot. Donald Trump is pursuing a separate appeal in state court regarding a decision by Maine's Democratic secretary of state, Shenna Bellows, who deemed him ineligible to be included on the state's ballot due to his involvement in the Capitol attack.
