Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy reiterates his commitment to withdrawing from state ballots in Maine and Colorado. These states barred Donald Trump due to his role in the 2021 Capitol attack, with Ramaswamy stating, "If they're going to behave in that unconstitutional way, Republican candidates can actually stop this form of election interference." Ramaswamy aims to "nullify" their decisions by boycotting their elections, urging fellow Republicans to do the same. Trump's disqualification sparks legal challenges, with Ramaswamy asserting the need to stand on constitutional principles. Other Republican candidates, including Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, remain divided on the issue. Ramaswamy emphasizes the unconstitutional nature of removing candidates without due process.
