Trump disqualified from Colorado ballot in state court ruling A slim majority of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former president Donald Trump is disqualified from appearing on the state's ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which bars anyone engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" from holding federal office. A lower court judge previously ruled that Trump's actions on Jan. 6, 2021, during a violent attack on the US Capitol by his supporters amounted to insurrection but stopped short of disqualifying him, saying Section 3 does not apply to presidents. The Colorado Supreme Court paused its own ruling pending review by the US Supreme Court, which Trump said he will immediately seek. FRANCE 24's Douglas Herbert brings you this analysis.
