In a Supreme Court term that coincides with the 2024 presidential primary season, the justices are at the center of many of the nation’s most politically sensitive debates. At the top of the list: former president Donald Trump’s eligibility to return to the White House and a challenge to a key element of the criminal charges against him related to his efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
Also this term, abortion is back at the court, with one case involving access to the medication mifepristone, widely used to terminate pregnancies, and another focused on emergency abortion care at hospitals. A trio of cases challenge the power of federal agencies, long a target of conservatives concerned about what they consider unaccountable government bureaucrats.
Gun rights and state laws restricting social media companies from removing certain political posts or accounts are in the mix as well.
Here’s a look at the major cases we are tracking from now until the end of the Supreme Court’s term in June or early July. We will update the list as each case is decided, or as arguments are held in those that have not yet been heard.
