The Colorado Supreme Court last week heard arguments in a case brought to prevent Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s ballots in the 2024 presidential election on the grounds of his role in an insurrection against the US government in 2021.
Trump opponents have been trying this strategy in a number of states for many months now – a necessary approach since, under the US’s federal system, states oversee their own elections.
Though Colorado’s Supreme Court has yet to issue a ruling, it’s almost certain that Trump will appear on ballots in the state next year if, as presumed, he wins the Republican primaries and becomes the GOP’s presidential candidate for the third time.
