US state’s top court refuses to hear appeal seeking to keep the ex-president from appearing on primary ballot.
Michigan’s Supreme Court is keeping former President Donald Trump on the state’s primary election ballot.
The court on Wednesday said it will not hear an appeal of a lower court’s ruling from groups seeking to keep Trump from appearing on the primary ballot ahead of the presidential election in the United States.
The state’s high court said in an order that the application by parties to appeal a December 14 Michigan appeals court judgement was considered but denied “because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this court”.
The ruling followed a December 19 decision by a divided Colorado Supreme Court, which found Trump ineligible to be president because of his role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
That ruling was the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.
