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.”

    I think him dying from a heart attack will not make him a martyr. He eats like shit and is in poor shape. Not everyone would believe it, but not so many that would be a problem. Like the dude is in the age bracket where it could happen and not be too surprising.

      I think you underestimate his how many would believe. I don’t think MAGA types care about facts or health related statistics — all of which are signs of the liberal elite. Given the chance I think they’d make a martyr out of him just for spite.

        Oh I don’t underestimate them. However I don’t think they will convince their children. Thus martyrism would be not possible for me.
