The Supreme Court announced on Friday afternoon (local time) that it would hear a corresponding request from the former US president and current presidential candidate. The case will be heard in court in the capital Washington on February 8.
Trump had turned to the court to overturn a ruling by the state of Colorado that disqualified him from the 2021 primaries due to his role in the 2021 attack on the US Capitol. A similar decision recently followed in the state of Maine. Corresponding lawsuits from Trump opponents are still ongoing elsewhere. They claim that the Republican has lost his right to run for president again.
Based on the latest decisions in the states, it was considered highly likely that the case would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court in Washington.
During his time in office, Trump shifted the US Supreme Court majority significantly to the right. Six of the nine justices are now considered conservative. However, the Supreme Court did not always rule in his favor. (SDA)
