14th Amendment Ban Haunts Trump in Illinois, Massachusetts
The specter of the 14th Amendment’s insurrectionist ban continues to loom large over Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential aspirations, as voter groups in Illinois and Massachusetts filed motions to remove him from the ballot. This latest salvo adds to a growing chorus of legal challenges aimed at preventing the former president from holding office again.
Groups File Motions to Remove Trump from 2024 Ballot
At the heart of the legal battle lies the 14th Amendment’s Section 3, which bars individuals from holding federal office if they “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.” The argument hinges on Trump’s actions on January 6th, 2021, and whether they can be legally construed as an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The Illinois and Massachusetts motions join similar efforts in Colorado and Maine, where courts have issued mixed rulings on the issue. This patchwork of legal decisions throws Trump’s candidacy into the maelstrom of uncertainty, forcing his campaign to navigate a complex and potentially treacherous legal landscape.

The stakes are undeniably high. Should the courts ultimately uphold the insurrectionist ban against Trump, it could effectively derail his 2024 ambitions and reshape the Republican presidential field. Conversely, a judicial victory for Trump could pave the way for his return to the national stage, further polarizing an already divided nation.
