The court has ruled that Donald Trump cannot run in the state's presidential election because he is ineligible to vote due to his actions related to the 2021 attack on the Capitol. This is the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to ban a presidential candidate. In doing so, the justices last month overturned a Denver district judge's ruling that barred from holding office those who committed insurrection against the Constitution after vowing to uphold it – particularly after the Civil War to rid former Confederates of the Constitution Keeping the government out – the presidency doesn’t apply. The court's decision was made by a majority.
Donald Trump's campaign spokesman has announced that he will appeal the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling banning the former President of the United States from running in the 2024 Republican primary, calling the decision “completely wrong “. “We will quickly appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States and seek a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.
