In February, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told a group at the Politics and Prose bookstore in D.C. that if former President Donald Trump wins, Congress must disqualify him on January 6, 2025.
The comment happened before SCOTUS ruled on Trump’s eligibility for the ballot due to his supposed participation in an “insurrection.” Raskin knew the court wouldn’t disqualify Trump.
Raskin insisted that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment should keep Trump off the ballot. Section 3 was meant to prevent Confederates from holding federal office after the Civil War.
SCOTUS reinstated Trump to the Colorado ballot in March in a unanimous decision.
