Asa Hutchinson, a Republican presidential candidate, has raised questions about Donald Trump's eligibility to run for president in 2024 due to a section of the Constitution that bars anyone who has engaged in insurrection from holding office. This argument has been supported by two conservative legal scholars who have published an article making an originalist argument that Trump's behavior on and leading up to January 6 should disqualify him from running for president. Hutchinson has said that he does not believe Trump is qualified to be the next president of the United States and the debate over his eligibility is likely to continue in the coming months.
