Trump excluded from the Maine primary. He can appeal
Bellows accused Trump, the main Republican presidential candidate in 2024, of inciting the riots that took place in Washington in January 2021. As she recalls, Trump called on his supporters to march to the Capitol building to prevent Congress from confirming the election results.
The Secretary of State suspended her decision until the state Supreme Court decided on the matter.
Unlike other states, Bellows, which oversees Maine's elections, was required to make an initial decision on disqualification before the courts could consider it.
