Democrat speaks on supreme court stepping in to adjudicate Maine and Colorado rulings that removed Trump from ballots

Supreme court justice Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from ruling on Donald Trump's eligibility for the 2024 presidential election, a prominent Democrat said Sunday, warning that the leading Republican candidate is seeking to become a political martyr" as he pursues a second presidency.

Maryland congressman Jamie Raskin was speaking ahead of the nation's highest court stepping in to adjudicate recent state rulings in Maine and Colorado that struck the former president from the general election primaries under the US constitution's 14th amendment insurrection clause.
