Paul Begala, a CNN political commentator, believes it's crucial for Donald Trump to be included on state ballots to ensure he is defeated once again. He criticizes Chief Justice Roberts and foresees a negative impact on the Supreme Court. In India, Vijay Masih, an evangelical pastor, faces persecution and imprisonment by Hindu nationalists, leading to the harassment and loss of staff at his church and a Christian hospital. Neal Katyal argues that Trump can be disqualified from future ballots based on his actions in the insurrection, asserting that this aligns with conservative principles and the original intent of the 14th Amendment. Representative Bennie Thompson, former Chairman of the January 6 Select Committee, believes Trump will face consequences for his actions in the 2020 election, while Governor Ron DeSantis disputes claims that January 6 was unpatriotic. Thompson firmly asserts that those who defend and promote the events of that day do not deserve to hold public office and predicts they will face legal consequences. The narratives revolve around Trump's presence on state ballots, persecution faced by Vijay Masih, the disqualification of Trump based on the 14th Amendment, and the consequences of January 6.
