Is today's court ruling the beginning of the end for Donald Trump?

The Colorado Supreme Court have just disqualified former US President Donald Trump from being listed in the ballot for the next election. 

They claim that his involvement in the January 6th, 2021 attack by his supporters on the US Capitol is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Trump’s team have already come back, saying they’re going to the US Supreme Court to appeal the decision.  

On this extra episode of The Briefing, we speak with expert in American Politics and Foreign Policy, Associate Professor David Smith, about what’s just happened, and what it could mean for both Trump and the upcoming presidential election.
