California Secretary of State Shirley Weber opted not to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot, breaking from recent actions in Colorado and Maine.
Weber certified the candidates list for the primary, to be held on March 5, 2024, with Trump's name among the nine Republicans who will appear on the ballot for the GOP primary in the Golden State. The former president will appear on the California ballot despite a growing movement of Democrats determining the former president is ineligible to run for office, claiming he violated the 14th Amendment
