Ramaswamy pledges to withdraw from Colorado primary ballot
After the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Donald Trump from the presidency and ruled that he should be removed from 2024 ballots, Vivek Ramaswamy pledged to “withdraw” his candidacy in the state, sparking social media mockery.
Mr Ramaswamy made the announcement seemingly in a show of solidarity with the former president after the historic ruling — which hinged on the US Constitution’s “insurrection” clause — came down on 19 December.
“I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot unless and until Trump’s name is restored,” Mr Ramaswamy said in a video on X. “I demand” that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley also withdraw from the state’s primary race.
Social media users have been quick to praise Mr Ramaswamy’s decision — but probably not for the reasons he was hoping.
