Washington CNN —Former President Donald Trump has appealed an Illinois judge’s decision that disqualified him from the state’s upcoming Republican primary ballot. The surprise court ruling this week throws into question whether votes cast for Trump will be counted. Porter issued her decision Wednesday night and paused the decision for two days, so Trump could appeal. Trump’s lawyers asked her on Thursday to extend the pause until all of their potential appeals are exhausted in Illinois courts. The justices seemed likely to reverse that decision, teeing up a conflict with the Illinois ruling.

The unexpected decision comes as a similar anti-Trump challenge from Colorado is pending before the US Supreme Court, which is widely expected to reject arguments that Trump is barred from office. It also comes just hours after the Supreme Court announced it would hear oral arguments in Trump's claim that he has presidential immunity against criminal charges. Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter stripped Trump from the Illinois ballot one month after the anti-Trump challenge was dismissed by the Illinois State Board of Elections. But those decisions were paused pending the appeal of the Colorado case to the US Supreme Court. They have only succeeded in Colorado and Maine, but those rulings were paused until the US Supreme Court reviewed the Colorado case.

Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Winthrop Coliseum ahead of the South Carolina Republican presidential primary in Rock Hill, South Carolina, U.S., February 23, 2024. An Illinois state judge on Wednesday barred Donald Trump from appearing on the Illinois' Republican presidential primary ballot because of his role in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but she delayed her ruling from taking effect in light of an expected appeal by the former U.S. president. Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter sided with Illinois voters who argued that the former president should be disqualified from the state's March 19 primary ballot and its Nov. 5 general election ballot for violating the anti-insurrection clause of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. Colorado and Maine earlier removed Trump from their state ballots after determining he is disqualified under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Trump gave an incendiary speech to supporters beforehand, telling them to go to the Capitol and "fight like hell."
