What's next after Colorado? Here's where other challenges to Trump's candidacy stand
Lawsuits in more than a dozen states are looking to follow a Colorado court's lead in declaring former President Donald Trump ineligible for election in 2024 due to his role in the Jan. 6 attack.
Legal challenges to Donald Trump's eligibility on the 2024 Republican primary ballots are underway in more than a dozen states. Each seeks the same result as this week's historic decision by the Colorado Supreme Court: to disqualify the former president from that state's ballot.
The lawsuits, filed by a variety of plaintiffs and legal groups, all focus on a little-used clause of the 14th Amendment that dates back to the Civil War era, and disqualifies from office anyone who engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" against the United States.
