"We are confident that the fair-minded Supreme Court will unanimously affirm the civil rights of President Trump, and the voting rights of all Americans."

"[T]he legal arguments against disqualification are ultimately unsound, and most are very weak."

"[M]y bet is that... even the liberal justices will lean toward allowing voters to decide whether Trump is fit to be president."

Barring Trump from public office "would be the mildest of punishments."

The Jan. 6 riot "is something that could disqualify him, under our rules, and under the constitution."

"The former president's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the resulting attack on the US Capitol, place him squarely within the ambit of the disqualification clause."

"[A] plain and fair reading of Section 3... demonstrates that Trump is constitutionally disqualified from holding future public office."

"I think it's really actually very clearcut... [Section 3 is] in general language, and so it applies to anyone who incites an insurrection or rebellion."

Will Donald Trump Be Disqualified From Holding the Presidency?

The now-official Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump named Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate on Monday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

The former president stressed that Vance was "the person best suited" to the position and would focus on "the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota and far beyond" on the campaign trail.

Once a fierce Trump critic, the 39-year-old changed his position ahead of the 2022 Senate race and has become one of his staunchest supporters in the upper chamber.

On top of his Trump-aligned credentials, he brings connections to Silicon Valley to the GOP presidential ticket. Vance recently helped organize a fundraiser for Trump in San Francisco hosted by two high-profile tech venture capitalists.

Several other names had been shortlisted as potential running mates for Trump over the course of his campaign, including North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.

If Trump wins the presidential election in November, Vance would become the youngest vice president since Richard Nixon, and his vacant Senate seat would be temporarily filled by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who has yet to endorse Trump.
