00:00 It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02 An Illinois judge issued a ruling ordering Donald Trump's removal from the state's
00:06 Republican primary ballot, but immediately stayed the order pending appeal.
00:09 The judge found Trump should be disqualified as a candidate under the constitutional ban
00:13 on insurrectionists related to January 6th of 2021.
00:16 If removed from the ballot, any votes cast for Trump would be suppressed.
00:19 Trump's campaign criticized the ruling as coming from an activist Democrat judge
00:23 and said they would quickly appeal.
00:25 The stay allows Trump to remain on Illinois' primary ballot while the legal process plays out.
