Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court on Monday removed a potential hurdle to Donald Trump's bid to recapture the White House, unanimously dismissing a state court ruling that could have barred him from the ballot for engaging in insurrection. The high-stakes ruling in favor of the former president came on the eve of the Super Tuesday primaries that are expected to cement Trump's march toward the Republican nomination to take on President Joe Biden in November. It was the most consequential election case heard by the court since it halted the Florida vote recount in 2000 with Republican Geor...

The Colorado Supreme Court barred Trump last month from appearing on the Republican presidential primary ballot in the state because of his role in the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol by his suppor...

Washington (AFP) - Former president Donald Trump urged the US Supreme Court on Wednesday to toss out a ruling by Colorado's highest court that would keep him off the presidential primary ballot in the western state.

Lawyers for the former Republican president, in a 43-page filing, asked the conservative-dominated Supreme Court, which includes three Trump appointees, to agree to hear the case and "...

Milwaukee (AFP) - US President Joe Biden said Wednesday that Donald Trump had clearly backed an insurrection after Colorado's top court blocked the Republican from seeking a second term over the 2021 Capitol assault. "I'll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. No question about it, none, zero," Biden told reporters after arriving in Milwaukee, Wisconsin aboard Air Force One. "It's self-evident. You saw it all," added the 81-year-old Democrat, who is likely to face Trump in a close-fought 2024 presidential election in a rematch of their 2020 battle. While...

"A majority of the court holds that President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Unit...
