US Supreme Court ruled on Trump's participation in the election

The US Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump is eligible to run for president again. This verdict canceled the decision of the Supreme court of Colorado, which banned Trump from participating because of his involvement in the storming of the Capitol in 2020.

About this writes Bloomberg.

In its decision, the US Supreme Court said that Donald Trump's name could appear on presidential ballots this year. Thus putting an end to efforts to bar him, under a rarely used constitutional provision barring "insurrectionists" from holding the office of head of state. The unanimous ruling overturned the Colorado Supreme Court's decision that Trump had lost the right to run for president again in an attempt to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.

It is known that the Supreme Court of Colorado has banned Donald Trump from participating in the primaries. The case was brought by a group of Colorado voters. They argued that Trump should be disqualified for inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol in January 2020. Similar lawsuits have also been filed in other states. At the same time, Maine postponed a decision to ban Donald Trump from the primary because of his possible involvement in the events of January 6. Illinois became the third state that tried to remove Donald Trump's name from the ballot. The former President appealed the decisions of judges in all these states.
