US EditionVoters file challenge to block Trump from appearing on Minnesota ballot in 2024
- Minnesota voters have filed a legal challenge to prevent former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state's presidential ballot next year, citing the rarely used "insurrection clause" of the 14th Amendment.
- The petition argues that anyone who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and then engages in insurrection should be barred from holding public office again. The case is expected to make its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, as similar challenges are being filed across the country.
- The Trump campaign has responded, stating that these claims are an affront to democracy and an attempt to disenfranchise voters, urging New Hampshire Secretary of State to not bar him from the ballot. Democratic Secretary of State Steve Simon has said that his office will honor the outcome of court challenges regarding a candidate's eligibility.
