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. Topping the list: former President Donald Trump’s eligibility to return to the White House and contesting a key part of the criminal charges against him related to his efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
Also this year, abortion is back in court, with one case involving access to the drug mifepristone, widely used to terminate pregnancies, and another involving emergency abortion care in hospitals. Gun rights and state laws prohibiting social media companies from removing certain political posts or accounts are also present.
Three cases challenge the power of federal agencies, long a target of conservatives concerned about what they see as unaccountable government bureaucrats.
Here’s a look at the top cases we’re tracking between now and 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 take place in those that have not yet been heard.
