Trump’s Ballot Bump, Maine Ousts Trump from Primary Race, Setting the Stage for a SCOTUS Showdown

Trump’s Ballot Bump, Maine Ousts Trump from Primary Race, Setting the Stage for a SCOTUS Showdown

In a surprising twist, Maine’s Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, has rocked the political arena by excluding Donald Trump from the upcoming Presidential primary ballot. Leveraging a seldom-used clause from the 14th Amendment dating back to the Civil War, Bellows invoked the prohibition against “insurrectionists” seeking the presidency. With this move, Maine follows in the footsteps of Colorado, where Trump was similarly removed from the ballot earlier in December.

Bellows, making history as the first elected official to bar Trump from the ballot, has triggered a potential legal clash that now hinges on the Supreme Court’s involvement. The court, never before tasked with ruling on Amendment 14, Section 3, faces an intriguing battle between its conservative leanings and the justices’ public stance as “constitutional absolutists.” The resolution of this issue, which questions the rights of states to disqualify Trump from their ballots, awaits the Supreme Court’s verdict, for which no date has been set.

Amidst this political drama, Trump finds himself in a different spotlight, defending his cameo appearance in Home Alone 2. Denying allegations that he “bullied” his way into the film, Trump took to Truth Social to share his perspective. He claimed, “I was very busy, and didn’t want to do it. They were very nice, but above all, persistent. I agreed, and the rest is history!” Trump asserted that his brief on-screen moment, filmed in the lobby of his then-owned Plaza Hotel, was the secret to the movie’s massive success.

Contrary to Trump’s account, the controversy surrounding his cameo stems from a 2020 interview with the film’s director, Chris Columbus. According to Columbus, Trump offered the Plaza’s lobby for free in exchange for a role in the film, as recreating the iconic location on a soundstage proved impractical. The debate over Trump’s involvement in Home Alone 2 adds an unexpected layer to the ongoing political saga, creating a captivating narrative with twists and turns.
