On Friday, the Supreme Court agreed to review whether former President Donald Trump could be disqualified from running for federal office again due to his actions preceding the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
This case holds significant implications for the upcoming presidential election.
The justices will examine a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that suggested Trump could be excluded from the Republican primary ballot in that state.
However, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision is anticipated to have far-reaching consequences, potentially establishing guidelines for how every state handles similar issues, NBC News reported.
The concise order specified an expedited schedule for arguments on Feb. 8, indicating that a swift ruling is expected.
Another state, Maine, has made a comparable decision barring Trump from the ballot. Similar to the Colorado ruling, the Maine decision is temporarily on hold during ongoing litigation, and Trump is currently listed on the ballot in both states.
