Why did Maine and Colorado disqualify Trump from their ballots?

Decisions stem from the US constitution's insurrection clause and could have major ramifications for 2024 election

Officials in Colorado and Maine have ruled that Donald Trump is ineligible to run for the White House again, citing his role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

In Colorado, the state supreme court ruled 4-3 earlier this month to take the former president off the state's Republican presidential primary ballot; on Thursday, Maine's secretary of state kicked him off the ballot there too.
