However, \u200cTrump&#8217;s lawsuit argues that this accusation is baseless and that his rights are being infringed upon by Benson&#8217;s\u200c refusal to include him\u200d on the ballot.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit \u200bemphasizes Trump&#8217;s popularity and cites \u200dvarious national and state polls that show him as \u200dthe\u2063 leading Republican \u2064candidate for\u200c the upcoming presidential election. It claims that there are individuals who wish to deny\u2064 Michigan voters the opportunity to express their choice by voting \u2063for \u2062Trump.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key issues raised\u200c in the lawsuit is Secretary\u200c Benson&#8217;s\u200d failure\u2063 to respond to a letter from Trump&#8217;s campaign requesting\u2064 confirmation that his name will\u2063 appear on her list of candidates. The lawsuit argues that this lack of response creates uncertainty and hampers Trump&#8217;s ability to allocate resources effectively. It also highlights Benson&#8217;s membership in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-sues-michigan-secretary-of-state-trying-to-keep-him-off-2024-ballot\/\" title=\"Trump files lawsuit against Michigan secretary of state to block 2024 ballot access.\">opposing major political party<\/a> and \u2062her publicly expressed\u2063 negative views of Trump, suggesting\u200b a potential bias \u200cin her decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>The legal\u200c grounds for \u200bthe lawsuit center around Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. This section states that no person shall hold \u2062any office if they have engaged in insurrection or \u200crebellion after taking an oath to\u2062 support the Constitution. The lawsuit\u200d argues that \u2064Trump did not violate his oath and that the accusation \u2064is unfounded.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, \u200bthis lawsuit represents Trump&#8217;s fight to be included on the ballot for the 2024 \u2064presidential primary and general elections in Michigan. It\u2063 alleges that\u200b Benson&#8217;s refusal \u200cto\u200b include him is unjust and infringes upon his rights as\u200d a\u2063 candidate. The outcome of this lawsuit will have significant implications for Trump&#8217;s political future\u200d and could potentially impact the presidential race in Michigan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s attorneys have arrived at a rally near Washington, Michigan on April 02, 2022.
