Could Trump's alleged role in Capitol riot risk his eligibility for public office in 16 States?

Hindustan Times  

The Colorado Supreme Court's recent decision to disqualify Donald Trump from future office marked the first triumph in an unfolding legal saga spanning multiple states. If the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the appeal, it could temporarily lift Colorado's hold, allowing Trump's eligibility until a final decision is reached. The Supreme Court's decision will influence Trump's eligibility on the ballot, impacting the Super Tuesday primaries in multiple states. With Jan. 10 as the deadline for South Carolina, the legal proceedings in that state gain heightened significance, aligning with the broader narrative of Trump's ballot eligibility challenges.
