Even David Axelrod, top adviser to former President Barack Obama, has admitted that forcibly removing former President Donald Trump from primary ballots — which some states have already attempted to do, pending court rulings — could be a risky move for Democrats.
Axelrod told CNN on Friday that he had “very, very strong reservations” about states like Maine and Colorado — where officials have cited the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection” clause and declared Trump “ineligible” to run for President in 2024 because of what happened on January 6th, 2021.
