"Missouri Secretary of State Warns of Retaliatory Biden Ballot Ban if Trump is Excluded"

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has threatened to remove President Joe Biden from the state's 2024 ballots in response to the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to bar Donald Trump from appearing on their primary ballots due to the 14th Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear Trump's appeal. Ashcroft's stance is a retaliatory measure against what he perceives as a partisan application of the law, and he has cited concerns about Biden's border policies as a potential justification for such an action. The situation reflects escalating tensions over election eligibility and the potential for a fragmented approach to candidate qualifications across states.
