"Turmoil Follows Maine's Decision to Exclude Trump from Primary Ballot"

David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Obama, expressed concerns on CNN about the potential consequences of removing Donald Trump from primary ballots, suggesting it could deeply divide the country. He believes that the Democrats' best chance of defeating Trump is through the electoral process, not legal maneuvers. Despite legal challenges and indictments, Trump's popularity seems to have increased, according to Axelrod. The Colorado Supreme Court's recent decision to remove Trump from the ballot, citing the 14th Amendment, is under appeal, while Maine's Secretary of State has also disqualified Trump from the state's primary ballot. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to make a final ruling on Trump's eligibility.

"Swatting Attacks on Election Officials and Trump Ballot Controversy Stir National Debate"

David Axelrod, a former adviser to Barack Obama, expressed concerns on CNN about the potential consequences of legally preventing Donald Trump from running for president, suggesting it could deeply divide the country. He believes that defeating Trump should happen at the polls, not through court decisions. Axelrod's comments come in light of Maine's Secretary of State disqualifying Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot, citing the 14th Amendment, and similar actions in Colorado. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to make a final decision on Trump's eligibility. Axelrod noted that despite legal challenges, Trump's popularity may have increased, likening the indictments to "battery packs" for his campaign.
