Former President Donald Trump achieved a significant victory in the U.S. Supreme Court, pertaining to a constitutional challenge concerning the appearance of his name on the 2024 election ballot. CNN reported that the nation's highest court declined to hear a challenge brought forward by a lesser-known GOP presidential contender, who aimed to prevent Trump's name from being featured on the ballot based on the 14th Amendment.

Although no comments or recorded votes were provided, the case brought by John Anthony Castro was swiftly rejected. Castro attempted to disqualify Trump from running for president and maintaining office due to his alleged support of convicted criminals and insurrectionists who violently attacked the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Castro strongly argued that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, established by the framers, aimed to eliminate pro-insurrectionists from the ballot. He believed that he fell under the protected interests outlined in the amendment, while Trump was the individual the framers sought to disqualify.

However, a lower federal court previously ruled that Castro lacked the standing to bring the case to court. His request for the Supreme Court to determine his legal right to pursue the matter became the focal point of his petition.

Castro asserted that primary candidates should have the judicial standing to challenge the eligibility of fellow primary candidates, given that their actions may be incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.
