California Democrats Launch Campaign to Remove Trump from State Ballot

Democrats in the California Legislature are attempting to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot by arguing that he is ineligible due to his role in inciting the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. They have written a letter to Attorney General Rob Bonta, urging him to expedite a state court ruling on the matter. If successful, California could become the first state to remove Trump from its ballot, although the ruling could be overturned. Bonta's office is reviewing the request, and taking on Trump in this way could boost his political ambitions. Trump has faced similar legal challenges in other states, but they are still in the early stages.
