Illinois excludes Trump from primaries – team announces appeal. For now, Trump's name will remain on the ballot in the state.
The Republican primary in Illinois is March 19th. Trump opponents filed lawsuits across the country, arguing that the Republican had lost the right to run for president again with his contribution to the attack. They refer to the so-called ban on insurrection in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. The background to the dispute is the unprecedented attack on the US parliament building three years ago: Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol.
