California Lieutenant Governor explores legal options to remove Trump from ballot

California Democrats seek to remove Trump from 2024 primary ballot.

California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis has recently called for the exploration of legal options to remove former President Donald Trump from California's 2024 primary ballot. In a letter sent to California's secretary of state, Kounalakis cited a recent ruling in Colorado as precedent for disqualifying Trump due to his alleged involvement in the insurrection at the Capitol.

The Colorado case involved anti-Trump groups suing the secretary of state, arguing that Trump should be disqualified based on his role in the insurrection. Kounalakis believes that the decision in Colorado sets an important precedent and that California should examine the facts and make a similar determination.
