Good news for the former president…
According to an ABC News report, former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner, Donald Trump can remain on the primary ballot in Michigan; the ruling was 3-0.
The court affirmed two lower court rulings.
“Who to place on the primary ballot is determined by the political parties and the individual candidates,” the appeals court said.
“At the moment, the only event about to occur is the presidential primary election. But as explained, whether Trump is disqualified is irrelevant to his placement on that particular ballot. Thus, with respect to the presidential primary election, there is no actual controversy, as the only purported basis for removing Trump from the presidential primary ballot would not be a sufficient basis for removal of Trump’s name from that ballot,” the court said.
In a statement, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said, “The Soros-funded Democrats have once again failed in their desperate attempt to interfere in the election via a bad-faith interpretation of the 14th Amendment.”
