A movement to disqualify Donald J. Trump from the 2024 presidential election is heating up, with all manner of legal scholars opining through various media outlets. A watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) names a handful of Colorado voters as petitioners and Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) as the respondent in a state court filing that says the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause disqualifies the 45th president from running next year, the left-leaning Talking Points Memo reports. CREW plans to file such lawsuits in a number of states by year’s end in order to keep Trump off their ballots in November 2024.
However, there is worry among such never-Trumper pundits as David Frum, columnist for The Atlantic that CREW’s efforts will further fire up the ex-president’s supporters.
