Illinois judge removes Trump from ballot based on 14th Amendment insurrection clause. The decision has been paused by the judge so that the former president's legal team has time to appeal it.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on a similar ban in Colorado. The ruling in Illinois follows a December 20 decision by the Colorado Supreme Court, which ruled that Trump could be expelled from the Republican primary ballot, but left its decision on hold while the former President appeals.
