US apex court to review Trump's Colorado ballot eligibility

The US Supreme Court on Friday agreed to take up whether former president Donald Trump can be disqualified from appearing on Colorado’s primary ballot, setting up a historic case ahead of the presidential election, reported Xinhua.

The US Supreme Court's announcement came two days after Trump asked the court to invalidate a recent ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, which removed him from the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot, citing a US constitutional provision that prohibits people who have engaged in “insurrection” from federal office.
