The Supreme Court will hear a case Thursday that could upend the presidential election in November.

The justices will consider whether Republican front-runner Donald Trump can be disqualified from a state primary ballot because he allegedly engaged in an insurrection to try to cling to power, after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden.

The dispute comes from Colorado, where the state Supreme Court threw Trump off its GOP primary ballot. But the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling could have national implications for Trump and his political fate.
