Trump faces dual lawsuits to keep him off the ballot in 2024

Former President Donald Trump is facing two lawsuits to prevent him from being on the ballot in Colorado and Minnesota under a rarely-used provision of the 14th Amendment.
In Minnesota, the state's Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments Thursday in a lawsuit that was filed by the nonprofit group Free Speech for People, along with former Secretary of State Joan Growe and former Supreme Court Justice Paul H. Anderson.
The lawsuit asks the court to order Democratic Secretary of State Steve Simon to remove Trump from the primary and general-election ballot. It mirrors the case in Colorado, arguing that Trump violated his oath of office by stoking an insurrection to overthrow the results of the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021, and should therefore be disqualified from holding office again.
