The US Supreme Court is currently addressing an unprecedented election case to determine whether Donald Trump is qualified to run for president. Colorado and Maine have both declared Trump ineligible due to his involvement in the Capitol riot. This was done by implementing a seldom-used provision of the US Constitution known as Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding federal office. However, the Supreme Court's ruling will apply nationwide and is currently on hold while the case is being heard. Despite the outcome, Trump is expected to secure the Republican nomination and face President Joe Biden in the upcoming November election. Legal experts are divided on whether Section 3 should apply to Trump, and the Supreme Court's decision will have significant implications. Numerous other states have similar lawsuits aiming to disqualify Trump, which could impact his chances in a closely contested presidential race. The Supreme Court's involvement will ensure uniformity in eligibility rules across the states.
