A Michigan judge has ruled that Trump will remain on the state’s ballot for the 2024 presidential primary, rejecting arguments that he is ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment.
Opponents of the former president have argued in several states that his actions surrounding the January 6 storming of the US Capitol constituted insurrection against the United States, disqualifying him for office. However, Michigan Court of Claims Judge James Redford rejected that argument, stating that removing a candidate from the ballot would essentially deprive Congress of its ability to remove that disability with a two-thirds vote of each House.
The ruling comes amid a growing effort to bar Trump from the 2024 presidential race, with similar attempts being made in states like Colorado and Minnesota. In Colorado, a lawsuit filed by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and six voters seeks to block Trump from appearing on the primary ballot, citing the 14th Amendment. Trump’s campaign has vehemently opposed those efforts, accusing his opponents of using “the law” to deprive voters of their choice in 2024.
While the Michigan ruling is a setback for those seeking to disqualify Trump, it’s important to note that the legal battles surrounding his eligibility are far from over. The Colorado lawsuit is still pending, and the Minnesota Supreme Court recently dismissed a similar lawsuit to block Trump’s candidacy.
As the 2024 presidential race heats up, the legal challenges facing Donald Trump continue to mount, and the outcome of these cases will have important implications for the future of American democracy.
