A federal judge ruled on Monday that a left-wing group’s challenge to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) candidacy in this year’s elections can proceed.

The lawsuit seeking to block Greene from seeking reelection claims the lawmaker violated the Constitution’s Disqualification Clause by engaging in a supposed insurrection against the U.S. government in the Jan. 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol building.
