The prohibition of Donald Trump’s candidacy on the Republican ballot in the intra-party process in Illinois has been ruled by a judge, citing his role in the bloody invasion of his supporters in the federal Capitol on January 6, 2021. It is worth noting that he suspended the implementation of this verdict until the decision of higher authorities courts, discounting the appeal.
Indeed, shortly after Tracy Porter’s decision was announced, Donald Trump’s campaign called it unconstitutional, confirming the defense’s intention to appeal.
Judge Porter sided with voters in Illinois who argue that the former president should be barred from running on his party’s March 19 ballot and in the November election because they say he violated the 14th Amendment by engaging in a “standoff.” .
But the issue will be decided in higher courts above all by the Supreme Court, which heard arguments on whether and whether Trump is eligible to run for president earlier this month on February 8.
The Free Speech for People organization, which spearheaded the effort to get the tycoon off the ballot in Illinois, called it a “historic victory.”
On December 19, the Colorado Supreme Court, and then, on December 28, Maine’s Secretary of the Interior decided to bar Donald Trump from running in the American right-wing caucus. Those decisions, while being described as historic, have also been suspended while the former president’s appeals are pending.
