Sen. Tim Kaine said Sunday he believes Donald Trump’s 2024 White House bid could be quashed under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment over the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack and the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
The amendment states that a person cannot be elected president if he has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

My sense is it’s probably going to get resolved in the courts,” he said.An Obama-appointed judge last week dismissed a case brought by a Florida tax attorney seeking to oust Mr. Trump from the state’s presidential ballot under the 14th Amendment.“I’ll let the lawyers worry about the 14th Amendment,” Mr. Kaine said. “My colleagues and I — our focus is on winning.
