Governor Newsom, a Democrat, \u2062stated that in California, they believe in defeating\u200b candidates at the polls and emphasized that Donald Trump poses a threat to their liberties and democracy.

Everything else\u200d is\u2062 a political distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This statement came as a surprise, as it\u2063 is rare to find \u2063Democrats who still support democracy, especially when it involves defending a Republican candidate like Donald Trump. Newsom&#8217;s comments followed\u2064 Lt.\u200c Gov. Eleni Kounalakis&#8217; call\u200d for California&#8217;s Secretary of State to explore legal options to remove Trump \u2062from \u2064the state&#8217;s\u200c 2024 presidential primary ballot.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200bColorado \u2062ruling has sparked discussions in other \u200bstates, with some considering removing Trump from their ballots\u2062 as well. The movement gained momentum in California\u2064 after Lt. Gov. Kounalakis urged Secretary\u200c of State Shirley Weber to\u2062 take\u200b similar action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge you to explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump \u2063from California\u2019s \u200b2024 presidential\u2063 primary ballot,\u201d Kounalakis wrote in\u2063 her letter to \u2063Secretary Weber.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the Supreme Court is currently reviewing the order against Trump, \u200band \u200ba final decision is pending. The outcome of\u200c this review will have significant implications for Trump&#8217;s \u200deligibility to appear on the primary ballots of various states.<\/p>\n<p>In a political landscape that \u2063is \u200cincreasingly polarized, Governor Newsom&#8217;s criticism of the Colorado Supreme Court ruling stands out.
