Several attempts in other states to kick Mr Trump off the ballot have also failed until now. Its ultimate arbiter will likely be the conservative Supreme Court that Mr Trump helped shape. But that never happened: the Senate failed to reach the two-thirds majority required to convict Mr Trump, so there was no second vote. Mr Trump could therefore be rendered ineligible for the ballot "by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications", the pair concluded. The ruling by Colorado's Supreme Court that removed Mr Trump from the 2024 state ballot could reverse that narrative.
