29 December 2023 at 01:46 Trump banned from the primary election in Maine In the United States, Donald Trump is disqualified from participating in the Republican Party’s primary election in Maine, according to the state authorities. Maine’s state secretary, Democrat Shenna Bellows, says Trump cannot run for president because of the role he played in the storming of Congress in Washington on January 6, 2021. Bellows refers to the same constitutional clause that prevents Trump from participating in the state of Colorado. The constitution denies people who have been guilty of “rebellion or sedition” to hold a public office. The Trump campaign has announced a protest against the disqualification of the Maine court, according to Reuters. This week, the Colorado Republican Party also announced that it is going to the country’s Supreme Court in the hope of overturning the disqualification verdict there. (NTB-AP-Reuters)
