The judge rejected claims from Trump\'s lawyers that only Congress could apply constitutional disqualification standards.
A Colorado state judge has denied a motion by lawyers representing former President Donald Trump that aimed to dismiss a lawsuit from voters in the state seeking to disqualify Trump from being included on the 2024 presidential ballot.. That provision bars any person who has “previously taken an oath” to the Constitution and served in a government position from being able to run for or serve in a government post again if they’ve “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the U.S.
Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election after his loss to Joe Biden — and his role in inciting the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol building by a mob of his loyalists — means that he engaged in, or at least aided, an attempted insurrection. But the former president’s lawyers asserted that only Congress can make that determination, rather than state courts.
If the lawsuit is successful, it will only apply in the state of Colorado, where Trump will be barred from running for office. However,next year, and losing it as a potential goal for Trump to pursue in his 2024 strategy would limit his paths toward winning the election overall.
