Year: 2024

Former President and likely Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been kicked off primary ballots in Maine and Colorado. His name on the ballot is being challenged in several other states across the country. All the challenges are based on the insurrection clause in the 14th amendment and stem from Trump’s involvement in the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.

Trump is appealing the Maine decision, and is expected to appeal the Colorado decision.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a democrat, told All Things Considered that Trump’s actions on January 6th are what drove her decision to remove him from the ballot.

NPR’s Juana Summers, talks to Senior Editor and Correspondent Domenico Montanaro about the decisions to remove Trump, whether they’ll stand, and what these challenges could mean for the outcome of the Presidential election.
