Donald Trump has filed an appeal in Maine Superior Court to challenge the state's Secretary of State's ruling that he is ineligible to appear on the Republican presidential primary ballot. Trump's attorneys argued that the ruling was "infected by bias and pervasive lack of due process" and that the Secretary of State should have recused herself. The court is expected to hear the case in the coming weeks, with the outcome having a major impact on the Republican presidential primary in Maine.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows ruled on Thursday that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state's primary ballot in 2021 due to his role in the January 6th assault on the U.S. Capitol. The ruling cites Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and will not be enforced until the courts weigh in. This ruling is part of a national effort to disqualify Trump from appearing on ballots in future elections, and it is unclear whether Trump will appeal the decision.
