On December 19, 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court, consisting of seven Democrats, voted 4-3 to remove Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot. The same court stayed their own ruling as Trump’s lawyers appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is expected to take the case in an expedited fashion since the CO Republican primary is set for March 5, 2024, and ballots need to be printed.
Democrats in multiple states have failed in using the 14th Amendment to have Trump removed, making CO the first state to issue this type of ruling. Trump immediately issued a statement saying they would be appealing this at the U.S. Supreme Court.
