Former President Donald Trump has praised the Michigan Supreme Court for having “strongly and rightfully” rejected a 14th Amendment effort to ban him from the ballot, calling the attempt to prevent him from running a “pathetic gambit” to rig the 2024 presidential election.
The Michigan Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled against a bid to remove President Trump from the 2024 ballot based on an interpretation of Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which is known as the disqualification clause as it bars anyone from holding office if they’ve engaged in an “insurrection or rebellion” against the government.
