Effort to Throw Trump Off Minnesota Ballot Fails

The Minnesota Supreme Court today dismissed a petition to keep Donald Trump off the ballot in the state’s March 5, 2024 presidential primary. The court order, signed by Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, stated that “there is no state statute that prohibits a major political party from placing on the presidential nomination primary ballot, or sending delegates to the national convention supporting a candidate who is ineligible to hold office.”

The Trump campaign responded: “Today’s decision in Minnesota, like New Hampshire before it, is further validation of the Trump Campaign’s consistent argument that the 14th Amendment ballot challenges are nothing more than strategic, un-Constitutional attempts to interfere with the election by desperate Democrats who see the writing on the wall: President Trump is dominating the polls and has never been in a stronger position to end the failed Biden presidency next November.”
