President Donald Trump has prevailed in 18 states to remain on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election, with cases against him pending in another 16.
Trump, the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, has faced attempts backed by Democrats to remove him from state ballots — under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a Civil War-era provision that bars anyone who has previously taken an oath as an officer of the United States and, then, committed or aided an insurrection or rebellion, from holding federal office — based on his actions on Jan. 6, 2021. Two states’ authorities — Colorado and Maine — have attempted to disqualify Trump, though their decisions have been stayed pending a decision on the matter from the Supreme Court of the United States.
Lawsuits to remove Trump from the ballot, mostly filed by voters backed by left-wing organizations, have been dismissed in ten states — Oregon, Nevada, Wyoming, Minnesota, Michigan, Rhode Island, Washington, Arizona, Florida and West Virginia, according to data aggregated by Lawfare. In the latter three states, the suits were dismissed but have been appealed by the plaintiffs.
Washington on Thursday became the latest state to reject a challenge to Trump’s eligibility after Thurston County Superior Court Judge Mary Sue Wilson dismissed a lawsuit against the state’s secretary of state seeking to keep the former president off the state’s ballot.

In several states, the plaintiffs in the case voluntarily dismissed their suits against Trump, these were in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
Pending suits to dismiss Trump are ongoing in the states of Alaska, California, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York and New Hampshire, according to Lawfare. In several of these states, such as California and New Hampshire, the suits were commenced after executive authorities declined to block Trump from the state ballot amid calls to do so.
