In the Republican Party's selection of candidates for the US presidential election in November, the U.S. Supreme Court on the 4th issued a ruling allowing former President Donald Trump (77) to run in the party's primary in western Colorado (held on the 5th). Ta. A group of voters in the state had accused Trump of engaging in an "insurrection" during the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, disqualifying him from holding office. Mr. Trump has four criminal trials pending, but he has broken through one of the hurdles in the legal battle leading up to the presidential election.

In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, Trump said on his social media, "This is a huge victory for America."
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution stipulates that public officials will be disqualified from holding public office if they engage in rebellion against the state. A group of voters in the state argued that Trump was ineligible to serve as president because he incited the attack on the Capitol. They asked that he not be allowed to participate in the state's primary elections.

Donald Trump is now speaking at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida following the Supreme Court's ruling that Colorado cannot ban him from the presidential ballot.
The court struck down efforts by individual states to disqualify Trump from running for president using an anti-insurrection constitutional clause.
The unanimous ruling is specific to Colorado, but it also overrides challenges brought in other states.
