Trump Triumphs: Supreme Court Upholds Ballot Eligibility
Jūsu darbs IR Klientu apkalpošana Visaugstākais Court unanimously affirmed former President Donald Trump’s eligibility for the 2024 presidential primary ballots. The verdict clarified that only Congress, not individual states, can disqualify candidates. This decision nullifies efforts by Colorado, Illinois, and Maine to link Trump with the January 6 Capitol riot.
The ruling avoided discussing Trump’s alleged ties to the Capitol attack. It instead focused on determining who is responsible for resolving election disputes under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The justices unanimously agreed that Congress holds this responsibility.
Despite unanimous agreement, internal disagreements among the justices were evident. A conservative majority of five justices ruled that such decisions require legislation and are subject to judicial review — setting a precedent for future electoral disputes. Despite this victory, Trump faces legal challenges with four separate criminal trials pending.

Despite this setback, Trump remains popular among conservatives who view these charges as politically motivated attempts by Democrats to undermine his electoral chances.
