Minnesota supreme court rejects effort to keep Trump from 2024 primary ballot

Lawsuit claimed former president participated in January 6 insurrection and should be blocked from holding office again

Minnesota's high court dismissed a lawsuit that attempted to keep Donald Trump from being on the 2024 primary ballot, saying he had participated in an insurrection that bars him from holding the office.

The Minnesota supreme court said the issue itself is ripe for review, but not in the primary election, where political parties select their nominees for the general election.
