Colorado GOP petitions US Supreme Court to overturn Trump's 2024 ballot ban

The Colorado Republican Party has petitioned the United States Supreme Court to overturn an unprecedented state Supreme Court ruling that removed Donald Trump from Colorado's 2024 ballot.

The Colorado Republican Party was also a party in the case, and it is fighting to keep Trump on its March primary ballot. Trump has yet to file his appeal, which is expected soon.

The appeal means that the state court's halt on the ruling, which was set to expire on January 4, will be extended indefinitely until the US Supreme Court announces whether it will hear the appeal and, if so, issues a final decision in the matter.

It also drags the nine federal justices into yet another controversy involving the Republican presidential front-runner. The Supreme Court is also involved in other matters related to Trump's election subversion criminal case.
