Trump Asks Supreme Court to Overturn His Removal From Colorado Primary Ballot.

Former President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the decision by Colorado's highest court that removed him from the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot due to his involvement in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Trump argues that the events of January 6 were not an insurrection and that the 14th Amendment provision barring insurrectionists from holding public office does not apply to him. He also contends that it is up to Congress, not state courts, to determine if the conditions of the 14th Amendment are met. The Supreme Court is expected to hear Trump's appeal, which has divided state judges and officials. [Extracted from the article]
