Nine Democratic California lawmakers asked the state’s attorney general on Monday to seek a court opinion on whether former President Donald J. Trump should be excluded from Republican primary ballots under the 14th Amendment for his role in the Capitol Riot.
The lawmakers reminded the office of Rob Bonta that "no person shall hold any office having previously taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection."
In a statement, Low said that Americans witnessed Trump "order his army of supporters to the United States Capitol and multiple courts have already declared the events of that day an insurrection" on Jan. 6, 2021.
