"Rest assured that he will fight each and every one of these disgraceful attacks on American democracy, he will win, and we will all Make America Great Again."
The Trump campaign celebrated a victory on Tuesday, with a federal judge in Nevada dismissing a lawsuit challenging Donald Trump’s eligibility to be on the state’s ballot.
US District Judge Gloria M. Navarro found on Monday that John Anthony Castro, a Republican presidential candidate from Texas, lacked legal standing to challenge Trump’s eligibility, according to KLAS.
Castro has filed similar suits in other courts, which Navarro wrote "ultimately ask, does Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution bar former President Donald J Trump from holding office?"
"This is a politically charged question of significant interest to the American public. But because federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction, this Court must first consider whether it can answer this question at all," the order states.
"Today’s dismissal of another bogus, bad-faith, Crooken Joe Biden-engineered attempt to deprive Americans as a whole, and the voters of Nevada specifically, of their right to vote for the candidate of their choice is not only a victory for President Trump, but a victory for all Americans and the people of Nevada," Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.
"President Trump remains undefeated in federal court against these cynical efforts to interfere in the 2024 election. Courts in eleven states have now dismissed similar, pathetic, 14th Amendment ballot cases."
Cheung said that each of these cases to remove Trump from the ballot "are blatant attempts to steal the election for Crooked Joe Biden and disenfranchise over 100 million American voters."
"President Trump is the leading candidate for not only the Republican primary, but the general election and his opponents are desperate."
"Rest assured that he will fight each and every one of these disgraceful attacks on American democracy, he will win, and we will all Make America Great Again."
Navarro wrote in her decision that to bring forth a suit in federal court, "a plaintiff must have suffered a concrete, particularized, and actual or imminent injury in fact that was caused by the defendant’s challenged conduct and is redressable by a favorable decision."
"Multiple federal courts have already dismissed Castro’s Fourteenth Amendment claim for lack of standing, without addressing the merits of whether Trump is eligible to run for office. At least five federal courts1 have specifically rejected Castro’s political competitor standing argument."
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
