Colorado prevents Trump from participating in state primaries

He Colorado Supreme Court kicked former US President Donald Trump (2017-2021), a candidate for the 2024 election, out of the state’s Republican primary for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

IN a reign unprecedented in US historythe judges referred to the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits persons who participated in the rebellion from holding elected office.

That amendment It was approved in 1868, after the Civil War in the United Statesto prevent people associated with Southern Confederate rebels from coming to power.

The The Trump campaign has announced an appeal to the United States Supreme Court a verdict he considered “completely wrong”.

He court in Colorado believes that “President Donald Trump is disqualified from serving as president.”

“Since he is disqualified, it would be an illegal act under the Elections Act for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as candidate in the presidential presidential electionhe added.

This one the decision contradicts the Denver judge’s decisionwhich held that Trump had engaged in “sedition” but not that he was disqualified from running in the election, a ruling that was appealed.

The Colorado Supreme Court is in full composed of judges appointed by Democratic Party governors.

Prosecutors have used the same strategy in several states, but This is the first time that the court ruled in their favor.

Colorado will hold its presidential election on March 5on the well-known Super Tuesday, a crucial date on which 16 states will vote and which could define the race.

The Republican primaries begin next January 15 with a club in Iowa and Donald Trump starts as the favorite according to all the polls, to face the current president, Democrat Joe Biden, again in the elections for the White House in November.
