Ramaswamy doubles down on vow to withdraw from Maine, Colorado ballots

GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy repeated his pledge to withdraw from the ballot in states that remove former President Trump, and reemphasized his call for other Republican candidates to do the same.

In an interview on “NewsNation Prime” on Monday, Ramaswamy told host Natasha Zouves his goal was to “nullify” Maine and Colorado — the two states that have so far removed Trump from their ballots — by boycotting their elections.

“Yeah, look, it wasn’t in protest. I’m actually a very practical person. I think that it was deeply unconstitutional and wrong for one individual secretary of state, without any trial or procedure or anything else, just to decide and wake up one day Donald Trump’s not on the ballot. That’s wrong,” Ramaswamy said.

Maine and Colorado have disqualified Trump from running for office based on their interpretation of how the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause applies to Trump’s actions around the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Or says? I assume he can read, so he should realize he's irrelevant.
