Illinois judge bars Trump from primary ballot due to 14th Amendment "insurrection clause".

An Illinois judge ruled that former President Donald Trump is barred from appearing on the state's primary ballot next month based on the "insurrection clause" of the 14th Amendment. This decision makes Illinois the third state to remove Trump from its 2024 ballot, following similar decisions in Colorado and Maine. The final outcome of the Illinois case and similar challenges will likely be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, which heard arguments related to Trump's ballot eligibility on Feb. 8.
