This comes after Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis urged Weber to remove Trump following a similar decision in \u200dColorado. However, Weber&#8217;s office released the\u2063 list of certified candidates, confirming Trump&#8217;s presence on the ballot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Weber did\u2064 not comment on her refusal, she emphasized \u200din a letter to Kounalakis that \u200bremoving a candidate based on the 14th Amendment is a serious matter. Despite multiple California Democrats supporting Trump&#8217;s removal, Governor Gavin Newsom, a potential future Democratic presidential candidate, criticized the proposal, \u200cstating that\u2063 defeating candidates at the polls is the way to \u2062go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, Trump remains on the ballot in Colorado as\u2063 the state&#8217;s Republican \u200dParty\u2063 appeals the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. However, Maine has taken a different\u200d stance, disqualifying \u2063Trump\u2063 from its primary ballot\u200d due to his conduct leading up to \u200bthe\u200d Capitol breach. Trump&#8217;s team plans to challenge Maine&#8217;s\u2062 decision in \u200bcourt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1702741302552000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0j7iIgqNi0bR5AgQ4rgPM4\">CLICK \u2062HERE\u200b TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite these challenges, Trump maintains a significant lead among Republican \u2063candidates in national primary polls and is even polling slightly ahead of\u2064 President Joe Biden. The\u2064 2024 primary season is set to begin with the Iowa\u2063 caucuses on \u200dJanuary 15 and\u2063 the New Hampshire \u200cprimary on January 23.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How is the California Secretary of State&#8217;s office working to expand voting opportunities and\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vt-gov-scott-signs-bill-requiring-mass-mailing-of-ballots\/\" title=\"Vt.
