Illinois Judge Tracie Porter barred former President Donald Trump from appearing on both the state’s Republican primary and November election ballots, citing the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. This ruling is currently delayed, pending an anticipated appeal by Trump’s team. Similar arguments have been made in Colorado, with a significant emphasis on the necessity of due process before disqualification from holding public office. The outcomes of these rulings may significantly impact the primary elections in Illinois and potentially influence similar decisions across other states, with the U.S. Supreme Court set to weigh in on the Colorado ruling.
Do you believe that former President Donald Trump should be barred from the election ballots based on the 14th Amendment?
