Former Labor Secretary Reich says election officials should refuse to put Trump on 2024 ballot over 'treason'
Fox News
Former Clinton-era labor secretary Robert Reich urged secretaries of state to bar former President Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, accusing him of "treason."
Reich, who served as labor secretary under former President Clinton, argued that Trump is guilty of treason and violated the Constitution through his actions challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election. Reich accused Trump of participating in an "insurrection against the United States" — referring to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — and wrote the 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits "anyone who has held public office and who has engaged in insurrection against the United States from ever again serving in public office."

"Secretaries of state – who in most cases are in charge of deciding who gets on the ballot – must refuse to place Donald Trump’s name on the 2024 ballot, based on the clear meaning of section three of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution," Reich urged.
