The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled Donald Trump cannot be removed from any presidential election ballots - reversing Colorado's decision to prevent him from standing for election following the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Monday's decision is a huge boost to the former president after the court ruled unanimously on the idea that Trump could not be unilaterally removed from the ballot.
Some election observers have warned that a ruling requiring congressional action to implement Section 3 could leave the door open to a renewed fight over trying to use the provision to disqualify Trump in the event he wins the election.In one scenario, a Democratic-controlled Congress could try to reject certifying Trump's election on January 6 2025 under the clause.The issue then could return to the court, possibly in the midst of a full-blown constitutional crisis.
