Colorado’s Supreme Court disqualified former president Donald Trump from the 2024 primary ballot in the Buffalo Plains State on grounds that he engaged in “insurrection or rebellion”-rousing activities on January 6, 2021. Trump has not been formally charged with such crimes, and his supporters have roundly slammed the court’s “dangerous” decision.

Gavin Newsom, the California governor whose name often appears on a shortlist of politicians who could replace Joe Biden if the president were to ever drop out as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, has apparently broken with efforts by the Democratic establishment to defeat the presumptive Republican nominee by simply barring him from ballot access.The Democratic governor’s comments come following Colorado’s controversial decision to ban Trump from the state’s primaries, and a letter by California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis this week asking Secretary of State Shirley Weber to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.”The strategy, coming in the face of polls showing that Trump is almost certain to clinch the Republican nomination, and has a good shot of defeating President Biden in the general election next November, comes after previous efforts to dissuade Trump from another presidential run failed.Trump currently faces four indictments constituting 91 separate federal and state charges in New York, Washington, DC, Florida, and Georgia, ranging from the alleged falsification of business records for the purposes of paying hush money to a porn star, to the mishandling of classified documents, to a purported plot to overthrow the results of the 2020 election.

The Republican Party will hold its primaries in Colorado in early March together with fifteen other states, giving the former president’s legal team about two months to try to challenge the decision.The strained political climate stemming from deeply rooted Trump/anti-Trump divisions among Americans has sparked fears of political tensions turning violent.

Democrat Golden Boy Governor Newsom Decries Plot to Take Trump Off 2024 Ballot
12:40 GMT 24.12.2023 (Updated: 14:32 GMT 24.12.2023) Colorado’s Supreme Court disqualified former president Donald Trump from the 2024 primary ballot in the Buffalo Plains State on grounds that he engaged in “insurrection or rebellion”-rousing activities on January 6, 2021. Trump has not been formally charged with such crimes, and his supporters have roundly slammed the court’s “dangerous” decision.
Gavin Newsom, the California governor whose name often appears on a shortlist of politicians who could replace Joe Biden if the president were to ever drop out as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, has apparently broken with efforts by the Democratic establishment to defeat the presumptive Republican nominee by simply barring him from ballot access.
“There is no doubt that Donald Trump is a threat to our liberties and even to our democracy but in California, we defeat candidates at the polls. Everything else is a political distraction,” Newsom said in a statement.
The Democratic governor’s comments come following Colorado’s
controversial decision to ban Trump from the state’s primaries, and a letter by California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis this week asking Secretary of State Shirley Weber to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.”

Colorado and California aren’t the only states where Trump’s ballot access has been threatened, with both Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans mounting legal challenges to try to bar him from running in Alaska, Arizona, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Vermont, and Virginia.
The strategy, coming in the face of polls showing that Trump is
almost certain to clinch the Republican nomination, and has a
good shot of defeating President Biden in the general election next November, comes after previous efforts to dissuade Trump from another presidential run failed.
Trump currently faces four indictments constituting 91 separate federal and state charges in New York, Washington, DC, Florida, and Georgia, ranging from the alleged falsification of business records for the purposes of paying hush money to a porn star, to the mishandling of classified documents, to a purported plot to overthrow the results of the 2020 election. In the unlikely event that he is convicted on all counts, Trump would face over 700 years in jail.
The former president has denied all wrongdoing, and has accused his adversaries of a “witch hunt” after the collapse of Russiagate and twin impeachments.
