The state of California kept former President Donald Trump on the 2024 ballot on Thursday.
California’s decision defies California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis’s request to “explore every legal option” to remove Trump from the ballot following the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling.
- California Democrat Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber published the list of eligible candidates Thursday.
- The decision came just after Maine Democrat Secretary of State Shenna Bellows decided Trump was ineligible for the state’s ballot.
Weber previously opposed Colorado’s ruling on December 22, saying, “It is more critical than ever to safeguard elections in a way that transcends political divisions.”
