Breaking news: Former President Donald Trump cleared to run for president after Supreme Court ruling. Find out more!
Former President Donald Trump has secured a significant victory in his potential bid for the White House once again, as the US Supreme Court ruled in his favor to remain on the Colorado ballot. This decision has removed a major obstacle in Trump's path to the presidency. Just in time for Super Tuesday, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld Trump's eligibility, preventing states from excluding him from the ballot based on allegations of inciting insurrection.
The ruling emphasized that only Congress has the authority to invoke the insurrection clause in the Constitution to bar a candidate. Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, is now set to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the upcoming US election. With the Supreme Court's decision, all challenges to Trump's ballot eligibility have been put to rest, signaling a clear path for his candidacy.
In a dramatic turn of events, the unanimous Supreme Court ruling overturned the previous 4-3 decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that initially barred Trump from running. Additionally, Trump was previously removed from ballots in Colorado, Maine, and Illinois, but with the Supreme Court's intervention, he has been restored to the 2024 presidential primary.
As Trump gears up for his potential return to the presidential race, the political landscape is set for a showdown between him and Biden. The Supreme Court's ruling has reshaped the dynamics of the election, setting the stage for a fierce battle between the two candidates. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding political saga!
