Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dismissed a call from presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy for candidates to remove themselves from ballots in Colorado and Maine in solidarity with Donald Trump.
DeSantis emphasized his responsibility to accumulate delegates and expressed the belief that the decisions would likely be reversed.
He questioned the constitutionality of such actions and highlighted that Trump’s name remains on the ballots pending appeals. (Trending: Trump Announces Heartbreaking Melania-Related Health Update)
DeSantis also criticized Ramaswamy’s demand as empty grandstanding, noting the latter’s declining support in national polls.
“Just absurd,” DeSantis said.
“I mean, I have a responsibility to accumulate delegates,” he added. “I’m not gonna unilaterally cede any, I’m gonna win as many as I can, and I’ve been very clear about both of those decisions and those states.”
“It’s not consistent with the Constitution,” he said. “I do expect them to get reversed. I’ve raised the question about Biden. I mean, if he has green-lit eight million illegals invading this country, is he eligible to be on? So we can play this game all along.”
“I think it’s not going to end up well for our country.”
“But I do know this, that if any of the other ones of us had gotten kicked off the ballot, Trump would be spiking the football, let’s just be clear,” DeSantis said. “That is just the fact of the matter.”
“That’s probably accurate,” Ingraham said. “I think that’s a fair point.”
