Former President Donald Trump will remain on Michigan's ballot for the state's 2024 presidential primary, a judge ruled on Tuesday.
Trump's opponents have argued in multiple states that the former president is ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment. They state that Trump's actions surrounding the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol constituted insurrection against the U.S.

Keep your eye on Colorado. They are trying the same BS there and the trial is a total rig job.
They will let him stay on the ballot.
How generous.
For now.
Won’t matter. Even if they rule he can’t be on the ballot, the Supreme Court can’t let that stand.
The Supreme Court will rule when it’s too late to matter for Trump.
Boy, the uniparty plan of “Save democracy by banning our opponent from running and jailing him” hasn’t been working out so far ... so far. They ain’t done, they can probably still come up with even more jackboot banana republic ways to save democracy.
How can you have a conviction with no trial.
Can a state keep Biden off the ballot due to murder, rape and kidnapping crimes.
Biden was never convicted, same thing to me
As though there was a legitimate question about that.
If Trump is convicted of crimes, you can look for Dem Governors to refuse to certify election results in their states, Dem Legislatures to meet in official session and ask VP Harris not to accept Trump Electoral Ballots and send them back. Freepers who suppport the idea that Governors and the VP have the power to cancel election results should be happy, but it’s gonna be a Constitutional crisis for the rest of us.
Meaningless anyway.
