California’s elections chief late Thursday approved former President Donald Trump’s name to appear on the state’s primary ballot, rejecting calls from some to disqualify him.
Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, a Democrat, released the certified list of candidates for the March 5 election that included Trump, who is leading in the polls in California and nationally.
“The following list contains the name of each presidential candidate who is entitled to be voted for in the Democratic, Republican, American Independent, Libertarian, Green, and Peace and Freedom parties’ Presidential Primary Elections to be held on Tuesday, March 5, 2024,” Weber wrote.
