The US Supreme Court has been put under immense pressure to decide whether former President Donald Trump will be on the 2024 Presidential ballot or not. As the former President contemplates a possible bid for President in the next election, many of his die-hard supporters have been pushing for the apex court to make a ruling on the matter.
There is an ongoing debate as to whether the former Commander-in-Chief would be able to get back into the White House without the Supreme Court stepping in. Since he left office, Trump has remained fairly popular among Republican voters, making a re-election bid a very real possibility. According to the polls taken since the end of his term, he could potentially receive more votes than any other Republican candidate.
However, the Trump camp’s potential re-election bid could still be hampered by legal challenges. Some argue that the former President’s participation in the Capitol riots on January 6th could make him ineligible to run for the Presidency. Others also point to the fact that he has been banned from certain social media platforms, making it difficult for him to build a viable campaign.
The debate on whether Trump will be on the ballot in 2024 has been further inflamed due to the recent verdict of “not guilty” in his Senate impeachment trial. Many in the Democratic Party have been outraged, arguing that a president who incited a violent insurrection against the government should not be allowed to run again.
It remains to be seen what the Supreme Court’s decision on the matter will be. However, regardless of the outcome, Trump’s candidacy in the upcoming election will be a major talking point for months to come. Trump and his supporters are banking on the Supreme Court’s decision in order to crown himself the King of the Republicans again. It remains to be seen if he will be able to achieve the same result as he did in 2016.
