The US Supreme Court has handed Donald Trump a major victory as he campaigns to regain the presidency.
The court’s new ruling will bar states from disqualifying candidates for federal office under a constitutional provision involving insurrection.

What is the 14th Amendment and what did SCOTUS say in its ruling?
The 14th Amendment’s Section 3 bars from office any “officer of the United States” who took an oath “to support the Constitution of the United States” and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

The Supreme Court resolved the Colorado ballot dispute speedily, a timeline that stands in contrast to its slower handling of Trump’s bid for immunity from criminal prosecution in a federal case in which he faces charges for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Trump’s trial has been put on hold awaiting the outcome of the Supreme Court’s decision — a benefit for him as he campaigns against Biden.
