The Michigan Supreme Court has rejected an attempt to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot based on the US Constitution’s “insurrectionist ban.”
But at this point trump is not running for an office of the United States. “Republican Nominee” is no official office. The Republican Primary in Michigan (or any other state) is not affected by the 14th amendment. They can put Arnold Schwarzenegger on there or Timothee Chalamet. Neither of which can legally become president (yet).
If the judges had found he can’t stop Trump from being on the presidential ballot in Michigan, that would violate the 14th amendment.
