As the Colorado Republican Party appeals a court decision that ruled earlier this month that Trump is ineligible for office, the former president will still be on the 2024 primary ballot for certification next week, according to the state’s secretary of state.
“With the appeal filed, Donald Trump will be included as a candidate on Colorado’s 2024 Presidential Primary Ballot when certification occurs on January 5, 2024, unless the US Supreme Court declines to take the case or otherwise affirms the Colorado Supreme Court ruling,” Jena Griswold’s office said in a press release.
On December 19, the Colorado Supreme Court issued a 4-3 ruling denying the former president the Republican nomination, citing his unconstitutional involvement in an “insurrection” against the US government on January 6, 2021.
