US Supreme Court rules in favour of Donald Trump, keeps him on 2024 primary ballots

Hindustan Times  

The US Supreme Court gave a big boost to former US President Donald Trump on Monday, when it decided that the former president can stay on the Republican primary ballot in Colorado. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump can appear on this year's ballot after the Colorado Supreme Court said he was disqualified from being president again and ineligible for the state's primary. The former President was overjoyed by the Supreme Court’s ruling, he posted on his Truth Social platform, “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!”. Supreme Court blocks state efforts to disqualify Trump from presidential ballot The Supreme Court’s ruling also puts an end to similar efforts in other states, such as Illinois and Maine, to disqualify Trump from the ballot based on the 14th Amendment, which states that no one can hold US office, including the presidency, if they “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof”.
