For this bonus episode of
Trump's Trials, host
Scott Detrow is joined by Maine's Secretary of State
Shenna Bellows.
Last week Bellows ruled that former President Donald Trump's name should be removed from the Republican primary ballot in the state, under section three of the 14th Amendment. The Civil War era provision disqualifies anyone who has engaged in an insurrection against the U.S. Constitution from running for office. For now Trump remains on the ballot until a higher court weighs in.
Topics include:
- Reasoning for this decision
- Response to criticism
- Need for U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in
- Concerns over threats
