Trump's Election Disqualification Appeal Reaches Supreme Court

Donald Trump's lawyers have appealed against both Maine Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, and Colorado's Secretary of State, Jena Griswold's decision to disqualify Trump from appearing on their state's primary ballots. The disqualifications were based on accusations of insurrection related to the 2020 election, and were supported by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Trump's legal team argue that the amendment is vague and the decision on his eligibility should be made by elected officials, not state judges. The appeal has been escalated to the US Supreme Court, a first in such matters. This ruling not only affects the primary but could also impact Trump's chances in the general election.
