2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is pledging to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until former President and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is allowed back on.
Ramaswamy posted the following message on X:
“I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley do the same immediately – or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country.”

The Colorado GOP says Ramaswamy won’t have to withdraw —they’ll convert to a “pure caucus system.”
From Fox News:
The Colorado Republican Party replied to the candidate’s video, assuring him, “You won’t have to because we will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand.”
Republicans and other allies of the former president are slamming the Colorado Supreme Court for removing him from the state’s 2024 ballot.
The divided court declared that Trump was ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause and removed him from the state’s presidential primary ballot, setting up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to decide whether the front-runner for the GOP nomination can remain in the race.
