In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump's name will be back on the primary ballot in the state of Colorado, as announced by Secretary of State Jenna Griswold. The decision comes unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, giving Trump a chance to participate in the upcoming primaries.
Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for the 2024 election, weighed in on the development. He pointed out that the decision to include Trump's name was not simply the action of one person but a reflection of an entire system that seems to react strongly against the former president. Ramaswamy expressed concerns that the system might prevent Trump from even entering the race, let alone finishing it.
As a Republican candidate himself, Ramaswamy took a principled stand and vowed to voluntarily remove himself from any GOP primary ballot if any of his competitors, including Trump, were forcibly removed through this alleged unconstitutional maneuver. He urged other Republican candidates to follow suit and fight against what he sees as a brazen form of election interference in the GOP primary process.
Ramaswamy believes that this issue goes beyond political ideologies and instead revolves around the core principles of the Constitution and American identity. He challenged his fellow GOP competitors, such as Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie, to join him in removing themselves from primary ballots in states that engage in similar actions. According to Ramaswamy, this would be the logical response to combat this form of election interference.
The decision by Ramaswamy to stop spending money on TV ads prompted a reaction from former President Trump himself, who expressed confidence in receiving Ramaswamy's endorsement. However, Ramaswamy clarified that he does not have a plan B and remains committed to his current campaign strategy. He emphasized that if Trump becomes the nominee, he would offer his full support, just as he expects Trump's support if he becomes the nominee.
Ramaswamy is optimistic about his chances in the upcoming Iowa caucus, citing the support of previously unpolled and non-traditional caucus goers, including young voters and America first conservatives. He believes they will contribute to a surprise outcome on January 15th and emphasized the need for an America first candidate to lead the movement forward.
As the campaign season progresses, Vivek Ramaswamy remains focused on his goal, determined to continue his campaign and confident in his ability to win.
