Daily Signal: 2 Judicial Strikes Against Efforts to Keep Trump Off Ballot
Attempts by anti-democratic groups to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the presidential primary election have been halted in Minnesota and Michigan.

Furthermore, Congress has not passed any federal law to enforce Section 3, and Trump has never been charged or convicted of insurrection. The question of whether Trump can be removed from the general election ballot remains open.
