Sen. Tim Kaine says ‘powerful argument’ 14th Amendment could disqualify Trump
- Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine argues that Donald Trump should be barred from the presidential ballot based on the 14th Amendment's ban on insurrectionists holding public office. Kaine believes this issue will likely be resolved in the courts, and Democrats should focus on winning in 2024.
- The 14th Amendment's disqualification clause, which bans individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding public office, has been pointed to as a potential avenue to keep Trump from becoming president. Election officials in battleground states are studying the legality of this provision and anticipating lawsuits on the matter.
- Kaine suggests a censure vote under the 14th Amendment as an alternative way of holding Trump accountable and preventing him from holding public office again. Virginia's upcoming election will provide insight into the state of politics in this battleground state before the next presidential race.
