Abstract
What does the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision this week that Donald Trump is ineligible to run in the state’s Republican Primary mean for the 2024 presidential election and US politics more widely? Andrea Scoseria Katz gives an overview of the background to the case and decision and writes that while many commentators have suggested the opinion will soon be overturned by the US Supreme Court, the Colorado decision is a fundamentally a conservative one which upheld the former president’s role in the January 6 insurrection.
