The nation’s highest court on Monday ruled in favor of keeping former President Donald Trump on the ballot in the 2024 presidential election after hearing a challenge out of Colorado.
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress is tasked with enforcing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars anyone who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution from holding public office if they have “engaged in insurrection.” The amendment was cited as justification in Colorado, Maine and Illinois officials removed Trump from primary ballots in the states.
