The Michigan Appeals Court decided in favor of former President Donald J. Trump remaining on the ballot for the 2024 presidential primary. The decision follows legal challenges filed by plaintiffs who questioned Trump’s eligibility under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Insurrection Clause.
A Michigan judge earlier denied a challenge aimed at banning former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s ballot for the 2024 presidential election.
“The Fourteenth Amendment arguments of plaintiffs present a political question that is nonjusticiable at the present time,” Judge James Robert Redford noted in his ruling.
Judge Redford further stated that under Michigan law, Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson cannot intervene in a primary election if a political party chooses to nominate a candidate who may not be qualified for the position.
“The ultimate decision is made by the respective political party, with the consent of the listed candidate,” the judge said.
Ron Fein, the petitioner’s attorney and the legal director of Free Speech For People, has stated his intention to appeal the ruling.
“While our appeal is pending, the trial court’s decision isn’t binding on any other court, and we continue our current and planned legal actions in other states to enforce Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment against Donald Trump,” Fein said.
The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that the Wayne County Election Commission and the Secretary of State do not have the jurisdiction under this section to examine a presidential candidate’s potential disqualification.
The ruling emphasizes election officials’ essentially administrative role in Michigan and the limited breadth of their authority in assessing candidates’ eligibility for primary ballots.
“As explained, whether Trump is disqualified is irrelevant to his placement on that particular ballot,” according to the court ruling. “Thus, with respect to the presidential primary election, there is no actual controversy, as the only purported basis for removing Trump from the presidential primary ballot would not be a sufficient basis for removal of Trump’s name from that ballot. Beyond that point in time, the request for a declaration that Trump is disqualified is not ripe.”
ABC News reported:
The Michigan court upheld two lower courts’ rulings by rejecting an appeal filed by the watchdog group Free Speech For People on behalf of a group of Michigan voters.
The court said in a 3-0 opinion that the plaintiff’s challenge was not “ripe” on procedural grounds and did not specifically rule on whether Trump fell under the disqualification clause.
“As the Court of Claims recognized, it would be improper to decide whether to grant a declaration that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President of the United States at this time,” the court wrote.
“At the moment, the only event about to occur is the presidential primary election. But as explained, whether Trump is disqualified is irrelevant to his placement on that particular ballot. Thus, with respect to the presidential primary election, there is no actual controversy, as the only purported basis for removing Trump from the presidential primary ballot would not be a sufficient basis for removal of Trump’s name from that ballot,” the court said.
“With the Michigan Court of Appeals’ affirmation of the Trump campaign’s victories in the lower court, the Soros-funded Democrats have once again failed in their desperate attempt to interfere in the election via a bad-faith interpretation of the 14th Amendment. President Trump remains undefeated against these frivolous legal claims and has never been in a stronger position to win next year’s election,” Trump’s campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, said in a statement.

We, as conservatives, are always saying that we want to see change but don’t know how to make that happen.
Well, one way to stop it is by not funding it.
Every single time you purchase detergent from Walmart, deodorant from Walgreens, or snacks from Food Lion, you are funding the liberal agenda.
I know it sounds harsh, and I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of it.
I am sick of seeing my money go to everything I despise.
That is why I was so glad to find the Public Square app that opened my eyes up to all the patriots out there with stores to shop from that had the same beliefs as I did.
But I also wanted a one-stop shop to start shopping at—you know, that one place that would have everything I needed for my household plus some extras.
I found it, and I had to share it with you!
Pro-American…
Pro-Freedom…
Pro-Liberty…
And happy to do business with Conservatives!
Plus, they’ve been at it for more than three decades!
Everything about them, from design to production to storage and delivery, is 100% American.
Their founder was even included in Obama’s “Most Dangerous Conservatives” list.
After learning those specifics, I knew I had arrived at my destination.
Why, then, have you not heard of them?
Simply put, they don’t advertise at all.
They prefer to stay off the radar.
Everything is personal invitations only.
But now that I’m working with them, I can get you in, and we can change the world together!
The only catch is that I only have a small team, and so many people are reaching out for invites that we are completely swamped.
Companies that are actively working toward our demise should not receive any of our hard-earned money.
They came out and said they aimed to cut the global population in half, from 8 billion to 500 million.
They want to get rid of 94% of the world’s population right now.
Still, we keep spending our money on their large box businesses because we have few other options.
But that’ll all change today.
Allow me to introduce you to the solution.
It’s time to make the “Big Box Switch” and change where you send your dollars each month.
All of that is real, and I’m so excited to tell you about it. I hope you’ll join the mission with me.
Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered with on this mission:
Sound good to anyone else?
I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.
They only want people on the same mission to join, and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!
They’ve been doing it for 37 years, and it’s been working great.
Oh, and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the big corporations put in their products to weaken you?
To wear you down?
To make you—and your family—sick?
Because then, when you get sick, you’ll buy their drugs!
Sorry folks, I don’t play that game, and neither does my family.
We’re talking about the last all-natural, grass-fed, no-hormone, massive Black Angus beef cattle ranch in the United States.
Sound good?
We’re talking fluoride-free toothpaste, chemical-free cleaners, and Deet-free mosquito repellant!
What novel concepts, right?
Stop sending your money to these 11 corporations that do not have your best interests at heart.
It’s an illusion of choice.
There’s only one pro-American, American-made and manufactured, chemical-free, toxin-free, hormone-free company left, and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!
Oh, and that is not all!
Customers who shop at the store also get discounts at 1600 other retail stores, including hotels and Airbnb.
That is not to mention medical discount plans, plans to protect your online identity, home security systems, and even more.
This is why I shop here now.
It has everything and like I said, it is patriot-owned and American-made.
The best part is that it has a 100% satisfaction guarantee and an A+ with the BBB.

And they will assist you in setting everything up.
Who else is sick of ingesting arsenic, cadmium, and lead and is ready to do something about it?
