In the United States of America, preparations for the 2024 presidential elections continue. A court hearing in Michigan decided on the possibility of Donald Trump participating in the primaries.

A Michigan US judge ruled on November 14 that US President Donald Trump will remain on the state's primary ballot.

What is known about the court decision

A Michigan court has decided not to bar former US President Donald Trump from running in the upcoming election, despite an investigation into his role in the 2021 storming of the White House. Court of Claims Judge James Redford rejected arguments that Trump's role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol meant the court should rule him ineligible to run for president.

Redford explained that because Trump followed state law to compete in the primary, he cannot eliminate the former president.

Trump's disqualification cases are being handled under the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. The basis of this amendment is the prohibition of holding public office after participation in rebellion or rebellion against the country.

The plaintiffs are seeking to bar Trump from the election, while accusing him of “inciting” an attack on the White House in January 2021 to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.

In addition, the Michigan judge noted that deciding whether an event constitutes an insurrection and whether someone participated in it is a matter for Congress, not “one judge alone.”

A Michigan court ultimately ruled that Donald Trump's name will remain on the ballot in the US Republican primary. As you know, the winner of the primaries will become a candidate in the presidential elections that will be held in the United States in November 2024.

Previously, the same decision was made by a court in another US state, Minnesota, and a decision is expected from the state of Colorado by November 17, 2023.

Trump's chances of winning the US election

• Trump clearly senses the mood of US society, which “wants to push forward the deep state.” He uses it and plays it well. The only thing that can stop him is lawsuits.
• A New York court found Trump liable for fraud. The 45th President of the United States was previously suspected of exaggerating his net worth by billions of dollars in one year, as evidenced by financial documents.
• The likelihood that we will witness the conviction of the former US President is quite high. However, another problem is that the accusation against Trump does not prevent him from being elected president of the United States. Thus, if he wins the presidential election, all charges against him will be dropped in 2024. Because, according to US law, the current president is not subject to conviction while performing his duties.
