In total, the exclusion of Trump from the electoral rolls was initiated in 34 US states.
More than 20 states may ban the former president Donald Trump to participate in the elections.
The New York Times writes about this 60~/strong> with reference to analysis of court records and other documents.
“Donald Trump's candidacy for president has been officially appealed in at least 34 states. Trump was disqualified from the primaries in Colorado and Maine for appeals,” the message notes.
However, many legal challenges have been rejected or are not progressing in court. Thus, in addition to Colorado and Maine, “in at least 20 other states this issue remains unresolved.”
The lawsuits against Trump are based on the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. This amendment was adopted after the Civil War and was supposed to make it impossible to hold public office for anyone who was in government service and “participated in rebellion or rebellion.”
The publication notes that in 21 of the 34 states where the ban on Trump was initiated, incumbent head of state Joe Biden won the last presidential election.
Voters in Massachusetts and Illinois were among the latest to file a petition to remove the ex-president from the primary ballot.
We recall that it was previously reported that Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that there is no need to be afraid of Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections.
In addition, we previously reported that Donald Trump is appealing a Maine decision barring him from running for President of the United States.< /p>
