Judge orders Trump off Illinois primary ballot but puts ruling on hold.

An Illinois judge ruled that former President Donald Trump should be removed from the state's March 19 Republican primary ballot due to his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The ruling was based on the case law surrounding the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove Trump from that state's ballot. The judge stayed the effect of the ruling until Friday to allow an anticipated appeal by the former president's lawyers.
