The Efforts to Disqualify Trump from Presidential Candidacy

There have been attempts by liberal activists, some conservative scholars, and advocacy groups to disqualify former President Donald Trump from running for presidency again under the interpretation of the 14th Amendment. This amendment states that someone who engaged in insurrection is not eligible to hold political office. Several lawsuits have been filed in different states to get Trump removed from the 2024 ballot, and two states, Colorado and Maine, have ruled in favor of disqualification. The Supreme Court has been asked to intervene and decide whether Trump can be on the ballot.
