The Michigan Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed former President Donald Trump to remain on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot after it declined to take up an appeal to have him disqualified.
The court said in a brief order that it denied the appeal because it was "not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court."
Trump lauded the decision, writing Wednesday on Truth Social: "The Michigan Supreme Court has strongly and rightfully denied the Desperate Democrat attempt to take the leading Candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election, me, off the ballot in the Great State of Michigan."
The Colorado Supreme Court removed Trump from the state's primary ballot last week, citing the U.S. Constitution's insurrection clause that prohibits people who participated in an uprising against the country from holding federal office. Trump vowed to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.
