Newsom right to defend democracy, as Kounalakis seeks to undermine it

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

35% : Trump hasn't yet been convicted of insurrection or insurrection-related activity, which seems like the bare minimum one might expect before seriously trying to invoke Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to bar him from seeking office.
32% : Upon Colorado's decision, Kounalakis swiftly released a letter to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, asking Weber to find any legal avenue possible to remove Trump from California ballots.
26% : That's because, the majority reasoned, Trump was in violation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which bars those who "have engaged in insurrection or rebellion" from holding various federal offices.
20% : While polls show a favorable picture for him heading into 2024, Donald Trump has no shortage of political weaknesses for those opposed to him to hammer on in order to defeat him in the next elections.
19% : "There is no doubt that Donald Trump is a threat to our liberties and even to our democracy," Newsom said in a statement released last Friday.
18% : The whole kerfuffle kicked up last week when a divided Colorado Supreme Court ruled 4-to-3 that Trump could be removed from Colorado's presidential primary ballot.
15% : This is what has transpired in the recent commotion over whether or not former president Donald Trump should be removed from 2024 ballots.
