California Governor Gavin Newsom has criticized his own Lt. Governor for calling on the state ‘to explore every legal option' to prevent Donald Trump from being on the 2024 ballot.
Eleni Kounalakis sent a public letter to the California Secretary of State on Tuesday, asking for an investigation into potentially following Colorado's lead and blocking the former president.
But Democratic Newsom hit out at the idea and insisted ‘we defeat candidates at the polls’ in his state.
On Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court barred Trump from their state's ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits anyone who swore an oath to support the Constitution and then 'engaged in insurrection' against it from holding office.
