The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of former President Donald Trump on Monday, halting efforts from groups in several states, including Illinois, to remove him from the ballot over claims he incited the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
The team trying to remove Mr. Trump from the ballot in Illinois is out of options legally. When a Cook County judge last week ruled to remove Mr. Trump, she leaned heavily on a ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court, which disqualified Trump in that state.
So when the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the Colorado ruling Monday, the ruling also meant the end of the road for the effort in Illinois.
