A judge in Cook County, Illinois, on Wednesday ruled that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, also known as the "insurrection clause," bars former President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot. The order overrules a January determination from the Illinois State Board of Elections that Trump could remain eligible. Porter's ruling is the latest in a string of conflicting decisions around the country about Trump's eligibility under the 14th Amendment. Porter noted on Wednesday that her order is stayed if the Supreme Court rules inconsistent with her decision.
