Donald Trump's eligibility to run for president in the Republican nomination is questioned

The Supreme Court in Colorado has ruled that Donald Trump is not eligible to be a candidate in the race to become the Republican nominee for the presidential election next year due to his involvement in the Capitol riots on January 6th. This ruling is based on the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution which states that individuals who have engaged in insurrection against the United States are not eligible to hold office. The decision may have implications for Trump's eligibility in other states as well and could ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. The outcome could significantly impact the 2024 presidential election.
