Lawsuits Seek to Bar Trump from 2024 Ballot Under 14th Amendment Disqualification Clause

Multiple lawsuits have been filed in various states arguing that Trump is constitutionally ineligible to run in 2024 due to his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol attack.
The lawsuits cite Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits those who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding public office.
State election officials have mostly declined to independently remove candidates from ballots but will defer to court rulings on Trump's eligibility.
Legal experts are divided on whether efforts to invoke the 14th Amendment will succeed in blocking Trump's candidacy.
Trump and his allies reject the legal arguments and accuse the challengers of election interference.
