"Missouri Election Chief Warns of Biden Ballot Ban in Retaliation to Trump Exclusion"

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has threatened to remove President Joe Biden from the 2024 election ballots in response to the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to bar Donald Trump from appearing on primary ballots due to the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding federal office. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear Trump's appeal against the Colorado ruling. Ashcroft's stance is based on the premise that if Trump is disqualified, the same standard should apply to Biden, whom he accuses of allowing an "invasion" at the border. This move highlights the potential for escalating partisan responses to election-related judicial decisions.
