Sure, if they could identify an instance in which he “engaged in insurrection or rebellion […], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof”. Biden has never committed such an offense, so in order for red states to attempt this they’d have to fabricate facts and have a sufficient number of state officials go along with it, essentially The Big Lie 2.0.
Trump runs into a issue with the Fourteenth Amendment where states can block him from the ballot. Only a 2/3 vote in Congress can prevent that.

Isn’t the opposite true though as well? Can’t red states just make up reasons to remove biden if a conviction isn’t required?
It is insurrection specific so states would have the burden of proving (if they cared about proof) Biden was engaged with an insurrection.

I mean when even the federalist society are penning their opinions on various publications supporting such a position…
Legally he can not be on the ballot in any of the 51 electoral jurisdictions per the United States Consitution.
Lol I wish. Where’d you get your law degree, Arby’s?
