Talk:Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign
| Should we state in the lead that the Colorado Court ruled that Trump is disqualified from the presidency under the 14th amendment for engaging in insurrection, and ordered that he be removed from the Colorado ballot as a result?
Reliable sources like CBS news describe the Colorado ruling as follows: "In a stunning decision that could have major ramifications for the 2024 presidential election, the Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from holding office again and ordered the secretary of state to remove his name from the state's primary ballot." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colorado-supreme-court-opinions-decision-trump-primary-ballot/. The Court itself describes its holding in very similar terms: "A majority of the court holds that President Trump is ineligible from holding the office of President under section three of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution...The sum of these parts is this: President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three; because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Secretary to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot." Should we add this material to the lead and adopt similar language, stating something like: 67.82.74.5 (talk) 20:21, 20 December 2023 (UTC) |

| The party has formed an electoral alliance called "The Right-wing Pole" recently. Is it still accurate that "centre/centrism", "liberalism" and "progressivism" are included in the infobox and on the page or has the party shifted since and as such would removal of these be appropriate? I have opened this rfc because previous talk page sections on this talk page have not received any responses from other editors. Helper201 (talk) 10:17, 16 December 2023 (UTC) |
