It may require that Trump first be convicted in at least one of these cases before such a challenge could actually proceed in court— or that a judge would have the guts to hear it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Judge Robin Rosenberg, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014, swiftly dismissed a case challenging Trump's candidacy just a week after the lawsuit was filed.

The case, brought by Boynton Beach tax attorney Lawrence Caplan and two others, argued that Trump's name should not be allowed to appear on the Florida presidential primary ballot next year because of his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Robinson told the plaintiffs on Friday that their case lacked standing to bring a challenge under the Constitution's 14th Amendment.

Most recently, his attacks have been targeted at U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over Trump's federal election interference case.

In his lawsuit, Caplan pointed to the disqualification clause in the 14th Amendment that states those who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the government cannot hold office.

Former 4th Circuit Appeals Court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a conservative, and legal scholar Laurence Tribe, a liberal, penned an article for The Atlantic this month that said Trump's actions following his 2020 electoral loss "place him squarely within the ambit of the disqualification clause."
