Ron DeSantis Says He Will Not Follow Ramaswamy’s Lead and Withdraw His Name from Colorado Ballot

Kristina Wong 20 Dec 2023

Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said he will not follow fellow candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s lead and voluntarily withdraw his name from the ballot in Colorado in protest of former President Donald Trump’s name being taken off the ballot.

In an interview on Newsmax, Ron DeSantis was asked if he would do the same.

He responded:

    No, I think that’s just playing into the left. I think the case will get overturned by the Supreme Court, but I’ve qualified for all the ballots, I’m competing in all the states, and I’m going to accumulate the delegates necessary. That’s the whole name of the game in this situation, but I do anticipate that decision was political and will get reversed.

Of course he shouldn't, and any demand that he should is ridiculous and disingenuous.  Why the hell should Trump's opponents remove their names from the ballot when that court's own order requires that his name remain on the ballot pending Supreme Court action?

How stupid do these Trumpers think we are??

It was Trump's RNC that forced the ballot on Colorado Republicans to begin with.  If they still had caucuses in place, the Dems wouldn't be able to interfere in their candidate selection process.

What DeSantis is saying here is to be patient and wait on SCOTUS.

DeSantis has worked hard, is ethical and confident, so why would he remove his name? Ramsy is making a ridiculous move.

It's not really a ridiculous move from Ramaswamy's perspective because he's just acting as Trump's goon anyway.  This is just a tactic for him to ingratiate himself to Trump by getting other Republican candidates removed from the ballot.

It's particularly ridiculous because the Colorado Supreme Court decision expressly says that Trump gets to stay on the ballot as long as there is an appeal before the Supreme Court.  In other words, those other candidates withdrawing from the ballot would mean that Trump would be the only Republican actually on the primary ballot. It's like a bad joke.

Indeed; a Trump goon. Very little is known about him. Both of his parents are here ILLEGALLY. He's slick and does bring attention to some issues that are needed, however, I see him as O'Bammy 2.0.

Swammy while I like his MSM stance and fight, is doing nothing more than a publicity stunt, and 99% of us, can see right through it.

Major's right.  Let the SCOTUS work this out.

Time, effort, and money were expended to get name(s) on the ballot.  It's a sunk cost.  To take name off ballot is a waste of campaign resources that can't be recovered.

Especially since Trump's name is going to be on that ballot as long as his attorneys bother to file an appeal to the Supreme Court.

Vivek is grandstanding for whatever reason (chuckle).

The time to withdraw is not now since I have a hard time believing that this will stand. If the SCOTUS does allow this....that would be the time to protest.imho

Basically, the same thing DeSantis said.
