Trump is back on the presidential primary ballot in Colorado, the state’s secretary of state announced, after the Colorado GOP appealed the state’s ban to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Last week, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump was ineligible to run for president because he incited insurrection on January 6, 2021, violating the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court banned him from the ballot, but postponed the ban until January 4, allowing the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case if needed.

Yesterday, the Colorado Republican Party filed an appeal to the decision, taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that Trump will for the time being remain on the ballot, which goes to print on January 5, unless the U.S. Supreme Court affirms Colorado’s decision or otherwise declines to take on the appeal.

The announcement comes one day after Michigan’s Supreme Court rejected the argument that Trump is ineligible to run for president.
