The United States Supreme Court ruled Monday that former President Donald Trump cannot be removed from any state’s 2024 presidential ballot, reversing a decision made in Colorado to kick Trump off the ballot due to his alleged “insurrection” related to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol storming.

“Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse,” the unanimous ruling states. “We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”
The nation’s top court issued the unsigned ruling with no dissents.
