The Michigan Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Donald Trump can remain on the state's primary ballot, granting the former president a legal victory in a state that's likely to be pivotal in the presidential race.
The court upheld a lower court's decision that Trump could appear on the ballot despite his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump's critics argue that the former president's actions after the last presidential contest make him ineligible to hold elected office based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was designed to bar former Confederate leaders from holding office after the Civil War.
