Welcome to Echo Facts. In an unprecedented move, the Colorado Supreme Court has declared former President Donald Trump ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution's insurrection clause and removed him from the state's presidential primary ballot. This historic decision marks the first time Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate. The ruling sets up a likely showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump's attorneys have vowed to appeal the disqualification immediately. The ruling, met with criticism from Trump's legal team and the Republican National Committee, is seen by them as election interference. The Colorado case is the first where the plaintiffs have succeeded. This situation could potentially set a precedent with more courts and election officials following Colorado's lead. The ramifications of this ruling on the 2024 presidential race remain to be seen.
