 U.S. Supreme Court rules to keep Trump on Colorado ballot The US Supreme Court on Monday ruled that former President, Donald Trump should appear on the ballot in Colorado. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favour of Trump. According to the CNN, it is a decision with nationwide implications that followed months of debate over whether the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination violated the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist clause” because of his role in the January 6, 2021, riot.

Colorado had barred Trump from its Republican primary, arguing he incited the 2021 Capitol riot but the court ruled that only Congress, rather than the states, had that power. Court rules Trump ...
