An Illinois judge has removed former US President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot on the basis of the 14th Amendment’s so-called “insurrectionist ban,” CNN reported. The decision has been halted, giving Trump a short time to appeal. The judge’s decision on Wednesday (local time) comes as a similar anti-Trump challenge from Colorado is pending before the US Supreme Court, which is widely expected to not agree to the arguments that Trump is barred from office.
