California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber Declines to Remove Donald Trump from Presidential Primary Ballot Despite Calls from Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis

California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber has declined to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot, despite a call from the state's Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis. This is the first time a state has declined to remove a presidential candidate from the ballot under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the decision has been met with mixed reactions from the public. The U.S. Supreme Court is now tasked with making a clear ruling on whether or not Trump can still run for president after the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
