<div><div> </div></div>
<div><div><p><span>In December, Trump appealed a 4-3 ruling by Colorado Supreme Court that marked the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was used to bar a presidential contender from the ballot. </span></p></div></div>
<div><div> </div></div>
<div><div><p><span>The court found that Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol disqualified him under the clause.</span></p></div></div>

<div><div> </div></div>
<div><div><p><span>Wednesday’s development came a day after Trump’s legal team filed an appeal against a ruling by Maine’s Secretary of State,<span>  </span>Shenna Bellows, that Trump is ineligible to appear on that state’s ballot over his role in Capitol incident. </span></p></div></div>
<div><div> </div></div>
<div><div><p><span>Both the Colorado Supreme Court and the Maine secretary of state’s rulings are on hold, pending appeal.</span></p></div></div>
