This time it is the authorities in Maine who want to remove the former president from the voting seat. He will therefore not be allowed to stand in the nomination election next year, where the Democrats and Republicans will choose who will be their presidential candidate. Earlier in December, state minister Shenna Bellows, responsible for the state’s election system, led a hearing on whether Donald Trump is qualified or not. On Thursday, she announced the conclusion, Trump must not be silent.

Bukaty / AP The reason is the role he played in the storming of Congress in Washington on January 6, 2021. It refers to the so-called “sedition clause” in the constitution. The clause prevents anyone who has engaged in rebellion or sedition from holding public office. Trump is indicted for organized crime and for trying to undermine the election results after the presidential election in 2020. Read more about the indictment here. Up to the Supreme Court Earlier in December, the court in Colorado also disqualified Trump from the presidential election, for the same reason. The verdict was historic. Never before has a president been barred from an election by this section. The Republican Party has appealed both sentences to the Supreme Court. Incumbent President Joe Biden has said that it is up to the courts to decide whether Trump will be silenced for next year’s election, but add that it is “of course” that he will support the rebellion and congressional storming in 2021. The Supreme Court is the instance once and for all can decide Trump’s fate, and make a decision at the national level. The court currently has a conservative majority, and includes three judges nominated by Trump himself. Jake Angeli quickly became one of the most high-profile protesters after the uprising in January 2021. The “QAnon shaman”, as he is called, has later said that he regrets storming Congress.

Cheung is said to have called Bellows a virulent leftist, according to The Guardian. Trump himself has not commented on the latest decision in Maine. However, he has, on his social medium Truth Social, posted a link to Bellow’s profile page on Maine’s homepage. There have also been lawsuits in Minnesota, Michigan and New Hampshire to disqualify Trump from next year’s election, but nothing has come to fruition.
