GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) – A judge in Michigan is expected to hear arguments Thursday on whether Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has the authority to keep Donald Trump´s name off state ballots for president.
Activists are suing Benson in the Michigan Court of Claims to force her to keep Trump´s name off ballots and to assess Trump´s constitutional qualifications to serve a second term as president
Meanwhile, attorneys for the former president are demanding that Trump’s name be allowed on the 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot.
Arguments were scheduled to begin Thursday morning in Grand Rapids before Judge James Robert Redford.
Activists – in two separate suits – point to a section of the U.S. Constitution´s 14th Amendment that prohibits a person from running for federal office if they have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the U.S. or given aid or comfort to those who have.
Liberal groups also have filed lawsuits in Colorado and Minnesota to bar Trump from the ballot, portraying him as the inciter of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was intended to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden´s 2020 presidential election win.

RELATED: Trump Posts Document He Wanted to Read in Court but Wasn’t Allowed To
Published November 8, 2023
Former President Donald Trump took to social media on Tuesday evening and shared the document he wanted to read in court on Monday but was not allowed to by Justice Arthur Engoron.
The document was a disclaimer clause he had referred to repeatedly throughout the civil case, where New York Attorney General Letitia James accused the former president of inflating his assets to get favorable bank loans.
Trump posted the clause on Truth Social, along with:
This is the Paper that I wanted to submit that the Judge refused to take, because he doesn’t want anybody to know about the Disclaimer Clause at the beginning of each Financial Statement. This is just part of it! That case is a disgrace to the Legal and Judicial System of New York. Hopefully the Appellate Courts will stop this travesty of Justice that everybody is watching and fully understanding!

Former President Donald Trump shared a document on Truth Social Tuesday that a Manhattan Supreme Court judge had refused to let him share in court.
Trump confirmed in the post that the paper he pulled from his jacket pocket during his court testimony Monday — but was denied permission to read aloud — was a disclaimer document, which he said vindicated him in the fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
“This is the Paper that I wanted to submit that the Judge refused to take, because he doesn’t want anybody to know about the Disclaimer Clause at the beginning of each Financial Statement,” Trump wrote in his social media post.
