Supreme Court Declines To Hear Longshot Bid To Disqualify Trump From 2024 Race

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a long-shot bid to challenge former President Donald Trump’s eligibility to run for the White House in 2024 over his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.

Little-known Republican presidential candidate John Anthony Castro sued Trump earlier this year in an attempt to disqualify him from holding office over the Jan. 6 riot. The Supreme Court denied the case without comment.

Castro, who has not qualified for any of the GOP primary debates, said he still plans on exploring his other legal options.
