Former Pres. Donald Trump is ineligible to run for president in 2024 because of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday.
The historic decision based on the 14th Amendment, barring Trump from the presidential primary ballot, sets up a battle before the nation's highest court about the fate of next year's election.
In a 4-3 ruling that will soon be appealed — and that is likely to inspire fierce criticism from Trump's supporters and vocal applause from those who have condemned his behavior around Jan. 6 — a majority of Colorado's seven justices wrote that the former president "engaged in insurrection."
