The court of appeal in Colorado ruled that Donald Trump cannot appear on the state’s presidential primary ballot one of multiple 14th Amendment lawsuits against Trump proceeding across the country.
The court said that Trump’s involvement in the attack on the Capitol in January 2021 is the sole reason as to why he cannot be on the ballot in the next year’s ballot.
The decision could bring to an end on Donald Trump’s eye for the top seat in a Republican Party ticket, a ticket which statistics show that the former President is leading the race to nominations.

In a statement on Tuesday, the court said that Donald Trump is disqualified from holding the Presidential office under section three of the US constitution.
“A majority of the court holds that President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.”
However, Trump’s campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement that they will seek an appeal to the decision to the US Supreme Court thus the court of Colorado had to place the rulling on hold.

“We will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision.”
According to Cheung, the “all-Democrat appointed” panel was doing the bidding of a “(George) Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden.”
“Democrat Party leaders are in a state of paranoia over the growing, dominant lead President Trump has amassed in the polls.
“They have lost faith in the failed Biden presidency and are now doing everything they can to stop the American voters from throwing them out of office next November.”
