In a landmark decision, the court declared Mr. Trump ineligible as a candidate due to his participation in the US Capitol riot. The Trump campaign plans to appeal, claiming this ruling is undemocratic. Notably, this is the first time Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate, despite previous unsuccessful attempts in New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Michigan.
The decision being appealed only applies to Colorado. It specifically pertains to the state’s primary election in March and may also impact the general election in November.
