foot the Republican PartyOn Wednesday, an appeal was filed against the decision to exclude the former US president Donald Trump From running in the 2024 presidential primaries in Colorado.
A lawyer for the Republican Party in the state said that they had filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court to request its intervention in the decision taken by the Colorado Supreme Court on December 29.
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump was ineligible to run in the party’s primary elections in the state, due to the role attributed to him in His supporters attacked the Congress building On January 6, 2021, on the basis of a clause in the US Constitution that prohibits anyone who “participated in a rebellion” from holding public office.
The court suspended its decision until January 4, and said that Trump’s name would remain on the ballot if he appealed the ruling, which Reuters expects Trump, who is considered the most likely to win the Republican Party’s nomination for the 2024 presidential elections, to do.
The Colorado court’s decision is used for the first time in American history in which the third section of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution – called the disqualification clause – is used to rule that a presidential candidate is not qualified to enter the White House.
