Maine strips Trump from the ballot, inflaming legal war over his candidacy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:35 GMT

Maine’s top election official ejected former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot on Thursday, declaring him ineligible to serve as president because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress.The ruling by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, is certain to inflame a roaring national debate over whether the Republican presidential frontrunner should be allowed to hold power again.The decision makes Maine the second state in two weeks to disqualify Trump’s candidacy due to the constitutional bar on officeholders who supported or “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.” Last week the Colorado Supreme Court barred Trump from the state’s Republican primary ballot under a similar interpretation of the 14th Amendment.Bellows’ decision on Thursday increases the pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and ultimately decide Trump’s fate — as the Colorado GOP petitioned the justices this week to do.Unlike the Colorado ruling, this one comes from an indi...

The year of the unpleasant return is finally over!

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:21:35 GMT

Welcome to a special POLITICO 28 edition of Declassified, a weekly humor column.So, as 2023 staggers to a close like a bloody-nosed drunk lurching down the street on the way to the all-night garage, there’s one main takeaway: Never rule out terrible people and things making a comeback. Obviously, top of the list is the conflict in the Middle East, which had definitely gone away until October 7 (are you absolutely sure about this?: International affairs editor). Not far behind was the U.K., whose tumultuous political year was bookended by two very unlikely returns. First, in February, Liz Truss came back. You may remember that Truss was unceremoniously and embarrassingly ousted as prime minister after just 45 days in October 2022 — that’s less time than Rihanna’s “Umbrella” spent at No. 1 in the U.K. singles chart — because the  economy had crashed through the floor. But she roared back in style with a 4,000-word essay in the Sunday Telegraph in which she sla...
