Judge Shuts Down Attempt to Kick Donald Trump Off Ballot
A Wyoming judge has rejected a motion calling for Donald Trump to be removed from the state's 2024 presidential ballot, on the basis that he is ineligible to serve a second White House term due to the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
The ruling was given on Thursday by Albany County District Court Judge Misha Westby who decided the case was "dismissed without prejudice."
