A judicial decision that affects the electoral race
Donald Trump is facing new problems in his electoral race for the presidency of the United States. A judge in Illinois announced this Wednesday that she has decided to remove the former president of the United States from the ballot of the Republican Party primaries, which are held on March 19. This decision is based on his role in the assault on the Capitol , considering that he is not an eligible candidate However, Trump continues to lead the polls and gain ground in the primaries
Judicial decisions pending resolution
This isn’t the first time a state has removed Trump from the ballot, but court rulings are still pending a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court must decide whether Trump’s exclusions are valid. This means that there is still uncertainty about his eligibility for the primaries
Trump has time to appeal
Trump has until March 1 to appeal the judge’s decision in Illinois state courts. This is an opportunity for the former president to defend his candidacy and try to reverse the decision. So far, Trump has been kicked off the ballot in other states like Colorado and Maine However, other states have rejected this exclusion, like Michigan and Minnesota
Trump’s future in the White House
The Supreme Court’s decision on Trump’s candidacy will have a direct impact on his political future and his possible return to the White House The former president’s legal team argues that the exclusions are unconstitutional and do not apply to the presidency Now, it is necessary to wait for the decision of the Supreme Court to have clarity on this issue
