Colorado Supreme Court Removes Trump from State's 2024 Ballot

The court based its ruling on the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban"

The court also found that Trump's messages in the lead-up to the January 6 rally at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., "were a call to his supporters to fight and that his supporters responded to that call."
