Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Trump in Ballot Eligibility Case
The US Supreme Court recently made a unanimous ruling in favor of former President Trump, overturning Colorado's decision to remove him from the state's ballot due to alleged actions related to January 6, 2021. The justices emphasized that the enforcement of the 14th Amendment's section 3 against federal office holders and candidates falls to Congress, not state authorities.
