A Maine judge ruled that the state won’t be able to move forward with removing former President Donald Trump’s name from the presidential primary ballot until the US Supreme Court rules on a similar case from Colorado.
Maine Superior Court Justice Michaela Murphy on Wednesday denied Trump’s request for a stay in the proceedings and instead sent the case back to the secretary of state to wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a case that may prove pivotal in the 2024 presidential race.
