The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to take up whether former President Donald Trump can be disqualified from appearing on Colorado's primary ballot, setting up a historic case ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

The Supreme Court's announcement came two days after Trump asked the court to invalidate a recent ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, which removed him from the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot, citing a U.S. constitutional provision that prohibits people who have engaged in "insurrection" from federal office.

The Supreme Court's decision, expected to be made a speedy pace, could set guidelines nationwide that would determine how Colorado and other states handle the issue.
