"Ballot Battles and Martyrdom: The Fallout of Trump's Disqualification and Democracy's Strain"

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu agrees that efforts to remove Donald Trump from the Maine ballot could backfire by portraying him as a martyr. Sununu, a critic of Trump, supports Nikki Haley for the GOP nomination and believes that legal challenges to Trump's candidacy will likely fail, ensuring he remains on the ballot in all states. The Maine Secretary of State's decision to disqualify Trump, citing his involvement in the January 6 insurrection, has sparked a contentious legal and political debate. Sununu criticizes the move as politically motivated and counterproductive.
