Trump's GOP rivals slam ruling to keep him off Colorado ballot
Newsy
Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie were all critical of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision.
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says he is standing in solidarity with former President Donald Trump after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump is ineligible to be on the 2024 primary election ballot due to his role in the attacks on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
"I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot," Ramaswamy said in a video statement.
Ramaswamy also called on fellow presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis to follow his lead.
Haley has not appeared to publicly comment on Ramaswamy's challenge. However, she did criticize the Colorado Supreme Court for its decision.
"I will tell you that I don’t think Donald Trump needs to be president. I think I need to be president. I think that’s good for the country," Haley told reporters in Iowa, according to the Des Moines Register. "But I will beat him fair and square. We don’t need to have judges making these decisions, we need voters to make these decisions."
