New York Democrats are now calling on the state election board to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot following the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling.
Democratic state Sen. Hoylman-Sigal, “delighted” by the news that the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump will be removed from the 2024 presidential primaries, claimed that New York will soon follow suit.
“New York is next,” Hoylman-Sigal posted on X on Tuesday.

Hoylman-Sigal, along with several other Democratic state legislators, wrote a letter On Thursday, the co-chairs of the Board of Elections, Peter Kosinski and Douglas Kellner, declared that they must fulfill their “heavy responsibility” and remove Trump from the ballot.
“The January 6 insurrection was a violent insurrection against the United States that tragically resulted in the loss of multiple lives. That dark day in our country’s history was led, facilitated and encouraged by Trump. The board should not allow those who participated to stand for re-election in violation of the mandate of the Constitution,” the letter said.
“That’s why, given the urgency of the approaching primary elections, we urge the administration to address this critical issue now and ensure that Trump’s name does not appear on the ballot in New York.”
This comes a day after California Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis called on California’s Secretary of State to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary.”
“I am inspired by the Colorado Supreme Court’s recent ruling that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot as a presidential candidate due to his role in inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 ,” Kounalakis wrote in a letter to Sec. of state Shirley Weber on Wednesday.
Trump is appealing the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, where many constitutional experts agree the ruling will be quickly overturned since Trump has never been charged with incitement of insurrection.
The Democrats are doing everything they can to get Trump out of the vote in response to Trump polls well ahead of Joe Biden in every major theater state, despite being indicted four times.
