Donald Trump notched a win in Michigan to be able to remain on the GOP 2024 presidential primary ballot.
On Thursday, the state's Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the 45th president, saying he is able to continue to be qualified.
A watchdog group Free Speech For People had appealed on behalf of a group of Michigan voters two lower courts’ rulings that rejected bids to remove Trump from the ballot for his role in the attempted insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.

In a 3 to 0 opinion to the group's challenge, the court decided it was not “ripe” for consideration on procedural grounds.
The Civil War-era clause in the 14th Amendment has been used sparingly.
The case is likely going to be appealed and land on the U.S. Supreme Court docket, which so far hasn't ruled on the insurrection clause.
The former president's campaign celebrated the win.
The statement posted on Twitter/X reads: "With the Michigan Court of Appeals' affirmation of the Trump campaign victories in the lower court, the Soros-funded Democrats have once again failed in their desperate attempt to interview win the election via a bad-faith interpretation of the 14th Amendment. President Trump remains undefeated against these frivolous legal claims and has never been in a stronger position to win next year's election."
