The New York State Board of Elections is opting to wait for the courts to rule on the eligibility of former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, signaling that the board would be open to taking his name off state ballots.

In a November 3 letter, the NYSBOE informed U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby that the state agency is taking “no position” in the matter of Trump’s candidacy and that it will “abide by any orders of judgements of the court.”

      Only because he now realizes it’s possible. I think his main reason is that he thinks losing anything makes him weak and he wants to prove he’s not weak. Trump has only ever really cared about one thing: his image. Even his personal freedom and money come second to that, I’d bet.

      Strange legacy to become a dictator an such an advanced age that you’ll inevitably die soon after. There’s no guarantee that even if Trump is elected in 2024 that he’d make it to 2028, since he’s unusually unhealthy.
