Deep dives

Activist groups use 14th Amendment to challenge Trump's candidacy

Two activist groups, Free Speech for People and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), have been pushing for the removal of Donald Trump from primary ballots under the 14th Amendment. While CREW focuses on the legal strategy in Colorado, leveraging state-level rules to oppose Trump's presence on the ballot, Free Speech for People takes a broader approach, filing challenges in multiple states. These groups, supported by liberal donors such as George Soros and Craig Newmark, argue that Trump's involvement in the January 6th Capitol Hill riot falls under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, potentially disqualifying him from candidacy. The Supreme Court is set to hear the Colorado case, which CREW will argue, while Free Speech for People plans to file supporting briefs.
