Top court says states can’t ban Trump from ballots

The Supreme Court ruled today that states cannot ban former President Donald Trump from appearing on their ballots in future elections. The 6-3 decision stated that states do not have the authority to prevent a candidate from running for federal office based on past actions or statements.

This decision comes after several states, including New York and California, attempted to pass laws that would prohibit Trump from being on their ballots due to his involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot and his continued promotion of false claims about the 2020 election.

The ruling has sparked debate among legal experts and politicians, with some arguing that it sets a dangerous precedent for future elections and others claiming it upholds the principle of allowing all eligible candidates to participate in the democratic process.

Regardless of one’s opinion on the matter, it is clear that the Supreme Court’s decision will have far-reaching implications for the upcoming election cycle and beyond.
