Donald Trump is pushing back against efforts to keep him off the 2024 ballot in some states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Trump’s legal team filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent Michigan Secretary of State\u00a0Jocelyn Benson\u00a0from refusing to put him on the ballot for the state\u2019s 2024 presidential primary and general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a> reports that the lawsuit asks the court to affirm that Benson (D) lacks the authority to decide whether Trump can be disqualified from the ballot under an interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The lawsuit asks the court to enter an injunction stopping her from barring Trump from the ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suit cites several national and state polls where Trump is the leading Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cDespite President Trump\u2019s tremendous popularity, there are people who want to deny Michigan voters the opportunity to express their choice by voting for him,\u201d the lawsuit said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s attorneys said court intervention is necessary so Trump can \u201censure he is included\u201d on the upcoming ballots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThere is an actual controversy, the outcome of which will determine how\u00a0President Trump\u00a0and his campaign allocate their resources both in Michigan and around the country,\u201d the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Polling from August shows\u00a0Biden\u00a0and Trump neck and neck in Michigan, each earning 44 percent\u00a0support from voters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
