Sidebar: SCOTUS ends Trump ballot challenges

We give you all you need to know to grasp the full scope of a ruling that not only affects the 2024 presidential race, but also sets a historical precedent for how the U.S. defines the qualifications for its highest office.

Surprise, listeners! We’re coming to you, almost live, with a special breaking news mini episode on the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision to keep former President Donald Trump on Colorado’s ballot.
