New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal expressed his excitement over the Colorado Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling that Trump is ineligible\u200d for the presidency under the 14th Amendment. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter,\u2062 Hoylman-Sigal confidently declared,\u200b &#8220;New York is next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Democratic Lawmakers Take Action<\/h3>\n<p>Hoylman-Sigal, along with four\u2062 other Democratic \u200dlawmakers, recently wrote a letter to the New York State Board of Elections, urging\u200b them to remove Trump from both the \u2064primary and\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/company-leading-arizona-recount-asks-court-that-procedures-be-kept-secret\/\" title=\"Company Leading Arizona Recount Asks Court That Procedures Be Kept Secret\">general election ballot<\/a> in the Empire State. They cited the same \u2063insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment that the Colorado Supreme Court used to disqualify the former \u200cpresident. In their letter, the lawmakers emphasized the Board&#8217;s duty to uphold the Constitution and exclude Trump&#8217;s name from the list of qualified candidates, just as they would exclude candidates who are not natural born \u200dcitizens or underage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The January 6 insurrection was a violent uprising against the United\u200c States that tragically resulted in loss of multiple lives,&#8221; the letter continued. &#8220;That\u200c dark day in our \u200bnation&#8217;s history \u2062was led, facilitated, and encouraged by Trump. The\u200b Board must not allow those \u2062who participated to run again for office against the \u200cmandate of the Constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s campaign officials have announced their intention to appeal\u2063 the Colorado Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling to the Supreme Court of the United States. While challenges \u2064by \u2062liberal groups in Minnesota and Michigan have failed to remove him from the \u2064primary ballot thus far, Trump remains determined to fight for his eligibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click \u2064here to \u200bread more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What justification did the \u2063Democratic lawmakers in New York use for seeking the removal of Trump from the primary and general election ballot in their state?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Democrats in New York are \u200dfollowing in \u2063the footsteps of Colorado in their efforts to remove\u2063 former President Donald Trump from the \u20632024 Republican presidential \u2062primary ballot. Inspired \u200cby \u200cthe recent ruling\u200b by the Colorado Supreme Court, New York \u200dstate\u2063 Sen.\u2064 Brad \u200bHoylman-Sigal expressed his confidence that \u200cTrump would also be disqualified in \u200btheir state.<\/p>\n<p>Hoylman-Sigal, along with four other Democratic lawmakers, took action by writing a\u2064 letter to the New York State Board of Elections.

They claimed\u2064 that\u2062 Trump\u200c had \u2062played \u200ba leading and encouraging role in the events of that day. They\u200c argued that the Board of \u2062Elections \u2063must not\u200b allow those who\u2063 participated in \u2063the insurrection to\u200d run for office again, \u200cas it would\u2062 go against the mandate of\u200c the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s campaign officials have announced their intention to appeal the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court\u2063 to the Supreme Court of \u2063the United States. While liberal \u2062groups in Minnesota \u200cand Michigan \u200bhave attempted, and failed, to remove him from the primary ballot in\u2063 those states, Trump remains determined to fight\u2064 for \u2064his eligibility.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how the New York\u200c State Board of \u200bElections will \u200crespond to \u2062the letter from the Democratic lawmakers. \u200cThe potential removal of Trump from the 2024 presidential primary ballot in New \u2062York could have significant\u2063 implications for the Republican race, as\u2064 removing a \u200cformer president from the ballot would undoubtedly shape the field of candidates.\u2064 As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-rules-in-texas-pro-life-cases-abortion-providers-can-sue-state-doj-challenge-dismissed-law-can-remain-in-effect\/\" title=\"SCOTUS Rules In Texas Pro-Life Cases: Abortion Providers Can Sue State, DOJ Challenge Dismissed, Law Can Remain In Effect\">legal battles continue<\/a>, the focus will now shift to the Supreme Court as Trump fights\u200d to\u200b remain eligible for\u2064 the 2024 \u2064election.<\/p>\n<p>To access more information on\u200b this topic,\u2062 The Washington Examiner \u2063provides further coverage on the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some New York Democrats aim to emulate Colorado&#8217;s move by excluding ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot.
