Today a trial begins in Colorado that you may not have heard about. It’s to determine whether Trump is ineligible to be on the ballot in that state (and likely others) because he engaged in insurrection and/or aided and gave comfort to the enemies of our nation. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies such persons from holding federal office. The question before the courts is whether that includes the president, and who gets to make the determination of eligibility. This is sure to go all the way up to the Supreme Court, hopefully with a final adjudication before the primaries begin.
