Removing individuals' names from ballots in states that are trying to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on their own ballots is “absolutely ridiculous,” presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said. Vivek Ramaswamy said in a call this week urging candidates to unite. Oppose this form of legal action and election interference, and remove their names from ballots.
'It's completely absurd' DeSantis Said During the performance on Tuesday Ingraham Angle.
“So I have a responsibility to rally the representatives. I'm not going to make any unilateral concessions. I'm going to win as much as I can. And I've been very clear about both these decisions and the state.” DeSantis continued, adding that it is “not consistent with the Constitution.”
“I expect them to be reversed. I asked a question about Biden. I mean, if 8 million illegal aliens coming into this country were given the green light, he would be eligible.” Is there?'' DeSantis asked, defending his position.
“So we can play this game forever. I don't think it's going to end well for our country. But I know this, if any of us are excluded from the ballot. If that were the case, Trump would have skyrocketed in football, let's be clear, that's just the case,” DeSantis added.
Mr. Ramaswamy has long called on his fellow Americans to join him in pledging to remove his name from ballots if Mr. Trump is disqualified in states such as Colorado and Maine.
“Republican candidates can actually stop this form of election interference if they are going to take such unconstitutional action,” Ramaswamy said. Said On Monday's performance newsnation prime.
“So I said I would remove my name from the ballot, and I called on other Republicans in the race to do the same,” he continued, adding that if a Colorado judge or Maine If the state's secretary of state intends to do so, he added. “To engage in such unconstitutional conduct, Republican candidates can actually block this form of election interference.”
He accused his Republican competitors of remaining silent and “avoiding the issue.”
“But if all the Republicans remove themselves, remove their candidates from the ballot in violation of the Constitution, then Maine is nullified, Colorado is nullified,” he argued, adding that DeSantis, Nikki Haley urges Chris Christie to join the Republican Party.
Haley and DeSantis disapproved of the controversial 4-3 Colorado ruling that ruled Trump ineligible to vote due to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. expressed. More specifically, DeSantis Said The U.S. Supreme Court should overturn the ruling, and Haley said judges should not interfere in elections.
“But I'm going to defeat him fair and square. We don't need judges to make these decisions; voters need to make these decisions,” she said. said.
Even Mr. Christie, a fierce critic of President Trump, opposed Colorado's decision.
“What I'm saying is that I don't think Donald Trump should be prevented by any court from becoming president of the United States,” Christie said. Said. “I think the voters of this country should block him from becoming president of the United States.”
Trump has appealed the decisions in both Colorado and Maine, and plans to remain on the ballot in Colorado until the process progresses. The decision by Maine Democratic Secretary of State Shena Bellows will also not go into effect until the U.S. Supreme Court rules, but President Trump is also appealing the decision.
