Republican Bryant “Corky” Messner’s attempt to prohibit former President Donald Trump from New Hampshire’s 2024 primary ballot is receiving a cold shoulder from the state’s top GOP leaders.
Mr. Messner insists that President Trump is disqualified from running for the 2024 presidential race due to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Section 3 of the amendment, enacted in the wake of the Civil War, bars a citizen from holding office if they have engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States “or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
