Trump urges US Supreme Court to keep his name on Colorado ballot

Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to put a "swift and decisive end" to efforts to disqualify him from the presidential ballot.

In a court filing, the former President of the United States warned of "chaos and bedlam" if judges did not reverse the state of Colorado's decision to keep him off the ballot.

A similar decision in the state of Maine over Trump's eligibility has been put on hold until the Supreme Court rules on Colorado.
