Former President Trump's legal team claims the Capitol attack was a 'riot' not an 'insurrection', challenging the basis for his potential disqualification from the 2024 ballot.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on the applicability of the 14th Amendment in banning Trump from state ballots, a decision that will set a precedent and could affect Trump's future candidacy.

Justices showed skepticism about excluding Trump from the election and questioned the constitutional grounds for disqualification, signaling potential favor towards Trump's arguments.

A ruling in favor of Trump could prevent similar disqualification attempts in other states, influencing the overall political landscape and the 2024 presidential election.

The Supreme Court is expected to issue a swift decision due to the proximity of primary elections, with Trump also contesting state court rulings in Maine.
