The US Supreme Court will hear former president Donald Trump’s appeal to remain on the 2024 ballot, the justices’ most consequential election case since Bush v Gore in 2000.

The court will be weighing arguments over whether Mr Trump is disqualified from reclaiming the White House because of his efforts to undo his loss in the 2020 election, ending with the January 6 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
