A judge is set to hear arguments as Michigan activists try to keep Trump off the ballot

Activists are suing Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to prevent Trump's name from appearing on the state's presidential ballots, while attorneys for Trump are demanding that his name be included.
Two separate lawsuits argue that Trump's candidacy should be disqualified under the 14th Amendment's prohibition against holding office for those who engaged in insurrection. A similar lawsuit in Minnesota was dismissed by the state's Supreme Court.
Despite the ongoing legal battles, Trump remains a leading candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
