U.S. Supreme Court blocks states from barring Trump from ballots

On Monday the U.S.   Supreme Court unanimously ruled that former Pres.  Donald Trump can remain on states ballots for the  2024 presidential election.  This reverses the state of Colorado’s decision to remove him citing the insurrectionist clause in the 14 th Amendment.  The decision means that all states attempting to bar him can’t.  It applies to all federal office.  Only Congress has the authority to make such changes to the ballot the High court said.  Acknowledging only voters can remove a candidate from a race Mr. Trump said most states were thrilled to have him on the ballot but the ones that didn’t were trying to block him for political reasons Trump still has several legal battle ahead.  Depending  on how much and how fast the Supreme Court rules on Trump’s immunity claim he could still face charges on trying to overturn the  election.
