The Colorado Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to take up an appeal of a state judge's ruling allowing former President Donald J. Trump to remain on the state's primary ballot, in a nationwide battle over his eligibility to run for president again.
Plaintiffs, citing Mr. Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, argued that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies anyone who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution after having taken an oath to support it.
Mr. Trump's lawyers must file a brief in the case by next Monday, and oral arguments are scheduled to begin on Dec. 6. Jena Griswold, the Colorado secretary of state and a Democrat, has previously said she would follow whatever ruling was in place on Jan. 5, 2024, the state's deadline for certifying candidates on the ballot for the March 5 primary.
