Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has initiated a lawsuit aimed at preventing Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, from withholding his placement on the ballot for the state’s 2024 presidential primary and general elections.
Filed on Monday, the lawsuit seeks a court ruling affirming that Benson does not possess the authority to determine Trump’s eligibility for the ballot under an interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
It further requests the court to issue an injunction preventing her from disqualifying Trump from the ballot.
