Republicans from three state legislatures have made a move toward keeping President Joe Biden off the 2024 presidential ballot. This comes just days after the Colorado Supreme Court moved that former President Donald Trump would not be allowed to appear on that state’s ballot.
Pennsylvania State Rep. Aaron Bernstine, Georgia State Rep. Charlice Byrd, and Arizona State Rep. Cory McGarr released the following joint statement about their efforts and upcoming legislation to remove the current president’s name from the ballot in Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.
“I am joining with PA Rep. Aaron Bernstine and AZ Rep. Cory McGarr to introduce legislation to remove Joe Biden from the ballot in response to the absurd ruling by radical Democrat judges in Colorado, removing Donald Trump from their ballot,” Ms. Byrd said in a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter.
The lawmakers also voiced their frustration with the current push to keep President Trump off the ballot in several states, with the recent judicial branch success in Colorado and cases pending in other states.
They released a joint statement, saying, “Today, we are joining forces to introduce legislation to remove Joe Biden from the ballot in Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.
“The absurdity of radical Democrat judges removing Donald Trump from the ballot in Colorado will be a stain on the American political system for decades. By their very own interpretation of the law, Joe Biden is 100 percent not eligible to run for political office.
The statement went on to assert that “Democrats’ insane justification to remove Trump can just as easily be applied to Joe Biden for his “insurrection” at the southern border and his alleged corrupt family business dealings with China. Colorado radicals just changed the game, and we are not going to sit quietly while they destroy our Republic.
“To be clear, our objective is to showcase the absurdity of Colorado’s decision and allow ALL candidates to be on the ballot in all states. To do that, we must fight back as Republicans against the communists currently running our great country.”
