Michigan‘s Supreme Court is keeping former President Donald Trump on the state’s primary election ballot.

The court said Wednesday it will not hear an appeal of a lower court’s ruling from groups seeking to disqualify Trump over the 14th Amendment ‘insurrectionist’ clause of the Constitution.  

The state´s high court said in an order that the application by parties to appeal a December 14.

Michigan appeals court judgment was considered, but denied ‘because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this court.’

The ruling followed a December 19 decision by a divided Colorado Supreme Court which found Trump ineligible to be president because of his role in the January 6 Capitol Riot.

That ruling was the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.
