PITTSBURGH, Pa (PTTP) – On Monday, March 4, the Supreme Court announced that states must allow former President Donald Trump to be on the ballot for this year’s primaries and presidential election.
Last December, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump should be prohibited from running for president due to his remarks regarding the alleged January 6 insurrection. They claimed that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, commonly referred to as the insurrection clause, bans him from running due to his previous actions and alleged rebellion against the Constitution.
However, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that Congress must be the ones to enforce this clause of the 14th Amendment, not the states. In doing so, the Supreme Court has reinstated Trump on the primary and general election ballot across the country.
This decision came right before Super Tuesday, where 15 states voted for their Republican presidential nominee earlier this week.
