A federal judge in Wyoming rejected a motion that called for former President Donald Trump to be removed from the state’s ballot—claiming that he is not eligible to become president under an interpretation of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Albany County District Court Judge Misha Westby dismissed the case “without prejudice,” which means the plaintiff, Tim Newcomb, can bring it again, according to court papers that were posted by lawyer and former California GOP chairwoman Harmeet Dhillon on X, formerly Twitter, this week.
