Illinois Judge Kicks Trump Off Primary Ballot

An Illinois judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump will not appear on the state’s Republican primary ballot in the upcoming election. The decision comes after a challenge was filed claiming that Trump did not meet the residency requirements to be eligible for the ballot.

The challenge argued that Trump’s primary residence is in Florida, not Illinois, and therefore he should not be allowed to run in the state’s primary. The judge agreed with this argument and ruled in favor of removing Trump from the ballot.

This ruling could have significant implications for Trump’s political future, as Illinois is a key battleground state in presidential elections. Without being on the ballot, Trump will not be able to receive delegates from Illinois in the Republican primary.

Trump’s legal team has indicated that they will appeal the decision, but for now, it appears that his name will not appear on the primary ballot in Illinois.

Overall, this decision adds another twist to the already tumultuous world of American politics and raises questions about the future of the Republican Party and Trump’s role within it.
