"Missouri GOP Official Grilled Over Attempt to Remove Biden from Ballot"

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft struggled to justify his threat to remove President Joe Biden from the state's primary ballot if the Supreme Court allows Donald Trump to be removed in other states. During a contentious interview with CNN, Ashcroft failed to provide a coherent explanation, citing allegations from other officials and claiming that Biden's immigration policies amounted to insurrection. The CNN anchor repeatedly pressed Ashcroft for a rational argument, highlighting Missouri's constitutional law and the lack of authority for the secretary of state to assess a candidate's qualifications. Ashcroft's vague justifications and accusations of bias from the anchor led to a heated exchange, ultimately revealing the lack of clarity on the application of the 14th Amendment in this context.
