Not comforting news for the AZ actors as they watch their counterparts in other states plead out, stand trial, or await trial. The "I didn't mean it," I didn't know what I was doing," and "I was only doing what Trump's attorneys told me to do" defenses are not working. The prosecutors who are charging these people have them cold.

A Trial Trump is Trying to Quash
A lawsuit regarding Trump's ballot eligibility on 14th Amendment grounds was filed in Colorado a few weeks ago. Trump has been working hard to make this trial not happen, but without success. His motion to dismiss the case was denied by Judge Wallace. His request for an emergency stay, made to the state Supreme Court, was denied as moot. That ruling was made not by a panel of judges but by all judges of the Supreme Court (en banc).
The trial begins Monday.

The Left is so scared of letting Trump to be on the ballot and letting the people to decide their next president by voting. They must believe the polls after all.
It's more about accountability for past deeds. Trump should not be allowed ballot access because his prior actions make it so. If Trump and DeSantis's poll numbers were reversed, and Trump was still a candidate, the people bringing the 14th Amendment suits would still bring them.
His “prior actions”? He exercised his 1st Amendment right, gave a speech to a crowd and told them to go “peacefully and patriotically”.
Mike Pence Drops out of 2024 Race at Republican Jewish Coalition
Mike Pence Drops out of 2024 Race at Republican Jewish Coalition
Mike Pence Drops out of 2024 Race at Republican Jewish Coalition
This is why we have courts. If Trump participated in an insurrection or provided aid and comfort to those who did, the 14th Amendment renders him ineligible to be the president, and thus ineligible to be on the ballot. That statement raises a lot of questions like does the 14th Amendment really mean that, and did Trump trigger its provisions?
Suits have been filed in courts in a few states to answer those questions. It is expected that the findings of the state courts will be appealed and the US Supreme Court will have the final say. What's important now is that at the state level in Colorado, Trump's attempts to quash that lawsuit have failed. The trial begins Monday.
One might ask. If Trump is confident in his legal position on this matter, and if his conservative Supreme Court can be presumed to be on Trump's side, why is Trump fighting so hard to keep this Colorado suit from being heard?
From the article you cited:
"Pence urged voters to choose a candidate who would appeal to the 'better angels of our nature, and not only lead us to victory, but lead our nation back to civility.'”
Something tells me Pence is not inclined to endorse Trump for president.

A Questionable Strategy
Trump lit into Judge Engoron today. If this is a strategy, it is a questionable one at best.
Today, on Truth Social, Trump said Engoron is “unhinged” and “an out of control ‘Nut Job”
In an other posts, he said: “I truly believe he is CRAZY, but certainly, at a minimum, CRAZED in his hatred of me.”
In another post, Trump called Engoron “grossly incompetent,” “a partisan political hack” and a “Radical Trump Hater.” (Source)
These posts are certainly being brought to Engoron's attention. That's Engoron as in Judge Engoron who is hearing testimony and will decide the amount of disgorgement Trump must pay.
Are posts like these the unhinged ravings of a man consumed with rage, or is it a strategy of some sort?
If it is a strategy, how does this help Trump? What benefits come from calling your judge "an out of control nut job?"
