The Supreme Court of the United States will review Colorado's decision to exclude Donald
Trump from participating in the state's primary. Trump appealed against the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling that declared him ineligible for participation in the primary.
The Colorado court argued that Trump's actions during the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, disqualify him under the 14th Amendment.
Trump claims that the Colorado Supreme Court's decision is unconstitutional and unjustly excludes him from the primary. He urges the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling and allow him to participate in the primary.

The Supreme Court will review this case, which is the first time it will decide on the application of the 14th Amendment to a former president. The decision is expected to have far-reaching implications for the 2024 presidential election.
The court has not yet set a date for the oral argument, but it is anticipated that a decision will be reached before Colorado's primary on March 5th.
