Ex-president can participate in state primary despite accusations of insurrection stemming from the January 6 Capitol attack

Donald Trump will remain on Michigan’s state ballot after a ruling from the Michigan supreme court on Wednesday, which upheld a lower court order.

The move sets the stage for the former president to participate in the Michigan primary despite accusations that he led an insurrection against the United States.

The court’s decision not to move forward with a case against Trump sets the court in sharp contrast to the Colorado supreme court, which recently ruled to strip Trump from its state primary ballot because of his role in the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.

      It’ll never happen. Either he drags it out long enough that he dies from being a wildly unhealthy geriatric, flees to Russia, or kills himself before he goes.

      I’m hoping he strokes out and becomes a locked in vegetable for at least a decade.
