CNN, which is a media outlet close to the Democrats, described the Maine decision as a victory for Trump’s critics.

Groups critical of Trump say they are seeking to use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution to prevent Donald Trump from running for office.

This clause of the law, passed during the American Civil War, states that those who take an oath to support the United States Constitution are barred from re-election to federal office if they “incite sedition or insurrection.”
