People in different states are considering challenging Trump's eligibility based on the 14th Amendment's prohibiting people who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" from holding public office.

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on Sunday said he “fully expects” former President Donald Trump to be on his state’s ballot in 2024 even as some Trump opponents weigh legal challenges in an effort to disqualify Trump from running for office.

An effort championed by some conservative and liberal Trump opponents seeks to use a little-known provision in the 14th Amendment to stop Trump’s potential return to the White House. The provision disqualifies people who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office, and some are prepared to challenge Trump's ballot status on those grounds in states across the country, including New Hampshire.

During an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” host Chuck Todd asked Sununu, who governs the state with the first primary and the second contest in the 2024 Republican nominating process, whether the debate on using the 14th Amendment could potentially have an impact on whether Trump appears on the ballot.

The governor said if someone wants to try to litigate the 14th Amendment in the state, “it’s not really a New Hampshire issue.”

“They’re litigating it against the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and therefore would be applicable to all 50 states,” he said. “So no, I fully expect that the former president to be on our ballots.”

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has made few public statements as to whether she, her office, or and groups were seeking a move to bar Trump access to the Colorado ballot in. 2024. When asked recently about the push to prohibit Trump from running for a second term in 2024 she answered:

“I would say it is premature for me as secretary of state to comment, but this topic is more and more in the news. It’s a novel situation, as all of this has been, given the former president tried to steal the 2020 election and his assault on democracy has not stopped.”

Asked if the Colorado Legislature needs to act this coming session in January to clarify and enable that determination in statute, SOS spokesperson Jack Todd later replied by email: “As the secretary noted on [Aug. 19], it is premature to say anything more at this time regarding the content of Colorado’s ballot in 2024. Neither the department nor the secretary have further comment at this time.”

Trump, meanwhile, is raising money off the potential 14th Amendment cases, emailing supporters Sunday morning to criticize "traitorous 'Republicans'" for considering such challenges.
