Washington, Dec 28 : Former US President Donald Trump got the much needed relief on Wednesday from the Colorado court shock when the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an attempt to remove him from the 2024 primary ballot based on the US Constitution's "insurrectionist ban".

The voters argued that Mr Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, could not serve as president under a provision in the US Constitution that bars people from holding office if they engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" after swearing an oath to the United States. 

"We are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court," the justices said in a brief order. 

In a post on his Truth Social site, Mr Trump said that the court "strongly and rightfully denied" what he called a "desperate Democrat attempt" to take him off the ballot in Michigan.
