Will Donald Trump Be Disqualified from the Colorado Ballot in 2024?

The trial to determine whether former President Donald Trump can be kept off the Colorado ballot in 2024 under the 14th Amendment's Section 3 has concluded, and a ruling is expected later this month. The trial featured testimony from legal scholars, US Capitol Police officers, rally organizers, lawmakers, and an expert on right-wing extremism. The key question for Judge Sarah B. Wallace to answer is whether Trump's actions after the 2020 election, including the January 6th attack on Congress, constitute "insurrection" or "rebellion" as defined by the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment prohibits anyone who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States from holding federal office. However, there is no explicit definition of these terms in the Constitution. The intent of the amendment was to exclude individuals who had violated their oath to uphold the Constitution from positions of authority. Trump maintains that the election was stolen and continues to support those involved in the Capitol attack. If Judge Wallace rules in favor of disqualifying Trump, it could have significant implications for his potential candidacy in 2024.
