The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
The Colorado plaintiffs have made up their own definition of insurrection in another failed attempt to keep Trump off the ballot. While the judge's ruling is undoubtedly a victory for the former president, her insurrection opinion is a concerning echo of the left's falsehoods about the riots.
Anti-Trump narrative
Donald Trump took the presidential oath of office on Jan. 20, 2017, swearing to preserve, protect, and defend the US Constitution. Instead, he engaged in an elaborate scheme to overturn the results of a free and fair election. For months, he spread disinformation about the validity of the 2020 election results. He has no place on the ballot.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 41% chance that Donald Trump will be removed or blocked from the primary electoral ballot of a US state under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment by July 15, 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
