Trump Asks US Supreme Court to Overturn Colorado Ballot Ban

Donald Trump asked the US Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that would bar him from the presidential ballot in Colorado, according to a person familiar with the filing, setting up a historic showdown over contentions that he forfeited his right to run again by inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Trump is appealing a Colorado Supreme Court decision that declared him ineligible to reclaim the White House because of his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. The decision was the first ever to invoke the Constitution’s insurrection clause against an ex-president. The appeal marks a pivotal moment in the unprecedented national drama over Trump’s candidacy. A Supreme Court decision to grant review and back Trump could end efforts around the country to remove him from the ballot. A ruling against Trump could fuel that drive and raise new questions about the viability of his candidacy. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-03/trump-asks-us-supreme-court-to-overturn-colorado-ballot-ban?srnd=premium -------- Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://trib.al/KM4k5RA Subscribe to Bloomberg Originals: https://trib.al/dJv9Uw8 Bloomberg Quicktake brings you global social video spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
