Yes please. Would love if they didn’t phrase it in a horse race kind of way, “it would be a boon to the Biden campaign” and instead “it would be appropriate because Trump tried to overthrow an election and we have a specific constitutional amendment prohibiting insurrectionists from running for office”
Yeah, people keep bringing up political strategy. Like Trump can’t win California anyway, or doesn’t need Colorado, so taking him off the ballot saves him money.
That’s not the reason states want him off the ballot. It’s not political machinations. It’s the fucking law.
And, quite frankly, I think Biden has a better chance of beating Trump than Nikki Haley. Don’t get me wrong, Haley isn’t much better than Trump. I don’t want her in the White House either, but she has a better “facade of reasonableness.” People know KNOW how bad she is and could assume she’s not as bad as Trump. The Biden campaign would need to work hard to prove to everyone that she’s bad. Meanwhile, everyone outside of MAGA knows Trump is bad.
So while Trump being booted from the election might be bad for Biden’s reelection chances, it would be good for the country.

Yeah, the headline could read something like, “49 States Have Yet to Follow the Law and Remove Trump from Ballots.”

No way does Haley have a chance of turning out the base the way Trump does.
Overturning Roe and ensures a strong turnout for the Democrats regardless of how lackluster everyone feels about Biden.
