Former Pres. Donald Trump is ineligible to run for president in 2024 because of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday.
The historic decision based on the 14th Amendment, barring Trump from the presidential primary ballot, sets up a battle before the nation’s highest court about the fate of next year’s election.
In a 4-3 ruling that will soon be appealed — and that is likely to inspire fierce criticism from Trump’s supporters and vocal applause from those who have condemned his behavior around Jan. 6 — a majority of Colorado’s seven justices wrote that the former president “engaged in insurrection.”

do not need Colorado winer
This is wrong!
This is against our constitution trump we the people are supposed to chose the president not a court tump said go peacefully peacefully peacefully 😢
The Colorado Supreme Court is full of NUMBER TWO. Their ruling is in DIRECT VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. TRUMP WAS NEVER CKNVICTED OF ANY CRIME AT ALL. SCOTUS NEEDS TO ACT FAST AND OVERTURN THIS BLATANTLY LEFT WING PARTISAN MOVE TO UNFAIRLY PREVENT PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM RUNNING FOR REELECTION IN 2024. TRUMP NEVER ENGAGED IN NOR DID HE EVER ENCOURAGE ANY TYPE OF INSURRECTION. THE DEMOCRAT COLORADO STATE SUPREME COURT IS GUILTY OF VIOLATING OUR FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
“donald trump is the only one to blame for this, he did it to himself”…….
This comment perfectly sums it up
Then Florida needs to ban any person that’s a democrat ineligible to run for president in our state.
World ends in early 2024
United States is in trouble. Unless we make changes in our country removing unwanted politicians who may put the country in danger.
It won’t hold up in the US Supreme Court…. They know it would cause a Civil War if it did.
Unhappy Trump blame yourself
They still insist on not listening to the entire speech were , at the end, he said " go down to the capitol and PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICLY PROTEST". That's what they claim is inciting an insurrection. This is so unjust.
This is illegal period
You'll notice that right wingers will omit the fact that it was REPUBLICANS that started this court case to remove Trump from the primary ballot in Colorado 😎
Biden did more damage to this country in his short stent that it’ll take decades if we actually ever do recover
Wow, how scared of Trump are they
He has not been convicted of anything on Jan 6th. Furthermore, the section they quoted has questionable application in this situation. They can still write in his name and we haven't heard from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hell yeah
Or give aid or comfort to….
It’ll be appealed to the SCOTUS and will likely be overturned. Immediately after the January6 protests the left began calling it an insurrection. This is all a cynical plot to undermine our democratic system!
Well there’s 49 states that loves him, Phuc you Colorado
It’ll be overturned as it is a tyrant move. Nice try though.
Who would've thought that racist state would disqualify donald!!! Good job Colorado, turning over a new leaf
They better check the 14th amendment you are not finishing what the 14th amendment says about it it does not say anyone an it also says only congress can enforce the amendment
That will be overruled by the Supreme Court 🤣🤣. Tell me you're scared of an election without telling me you're scared of an election🤣
That was Nancy!
He can still be written in on a ballot and it has to be counted. It can not be thrown out. It has to be counted.
Trumps the biggest Fraud in American history. Facts
If the Leftis manage and fraud the Country that Trump isnt allowed to get Voted, im afraid to say but there will be Civil War in US and Millions will Go on the Streets and or fighting the Corrupt System…
A 4-3 ruling itself is a travesty to our nation.That shows 3 people,that doesn't understand the law or support or constitution.
ABC picks and chooses how it will report the most important issue facing Americans and ABC choose not to report it truthfully. That’s called disinformation. No Debate!
I don't think this will stand and if it does we're in bigger trouble than I thought.
After Trump is weeded out the rest of the GOP involved should be held accountable. The judiciary should also be revamped and replace with independent judges not beholden to anyone.
They are scared because they know Trump will win in ashtoning way!!!
Trump must go vote Blue
In 1860 ten democrats kept Lincoln off the ballot. Sound familiar?
If conservatives boycott Colorado, does that mean they have to switch from Coors back to Bud? 🤣🤣🤣
Don't you require something called proof that the Donald had anything to do with that😮
2020 was Trumps final battle!!!
Fascists
