The Colorado Republican Party has filed an appeal to the state's Supreme Court decision that former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the presidency, extending the stay of the ruling. Nikki Haley's failure to mention slavery at a campaign event in New Hampshire is a tacit acknowledgment of the party's Trumpist leanings. Trump himself has said he plans to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could have far-reaching implications for the future of the presidency.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was criticized for failing to mention slavery as the primary cause of the Civil War when asked about it at a campaign event in Berlin, New Hampshire. The Civil War was fought between 1861 and 1865 between the Union and Confederate states over the issue of slavery, with the Union wanting to abolish it and the Confederate states wanting to preserve it. Historians and civil rights activists have argued that it is important to recognize the role of slavery in the war and to understand its history.
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., announced Wednesday that she will be seeking the Republican nomination for Colorado's 4th Congressional District in the 2024 election cycle. Rep.

Boebert, who was elected to Colorado's 3rd Congressional District in the 2022 midterms, believes this is the right move for her personally and for those who support the conservative movement. It is expected that the race for the 4th Congressional District will be competitive.

Apple Inc. has won a temporary reprieve in its legal battle over the Apple Watch product, with an appeals court ordering a pause on a ban of the product that went into effect on Tuesday.

Apple is appealing the ITC's ruling, and the appeals court has given the ITC until January 10 to respond to Apple's request for a longer stay while the issue moves through the courts.
The Michigan Supreme Court has denied a request to review a Michigan Court of Appeals decision that would have removed former President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot in the state. The request was made by four voters who challenged Trump's candidacy under the Constitution's "insurrection clause." The Michigan Court of Appeals had previously rejected the challenge this month, and the Michigan Supreme Court's decision to deny the request means Trump will remain on the ballot.
