Pence speaks out against 14th Amendment gambit to boot Trump from ballot: 'Should be left to voters'
Fox News
Former Vice President Mike Pence doesn't appear to support moves by some Republicans in a handful of states to boot former President Donald Trump from the presidential primary ballot.
"I always think these questions should be left to voters," Pence said Tuesday during a Fox News Digital interview as the former vice president greeted customers at a bakery in a working-class city in New Hampshire, the state that votes second in the Republican presidential nominating calendar.
Some Republicans in New Hampshire and a handful of other states across the country are questioning the former president's eligibility to run for the White House, and they cite Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. That section disqualifies those who’ve taken an oath to support the Constitution from holding office again if they’ve "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the U.S. "or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
