Hawaii bill to remove Trump from ballot scrapes by procedural vote

A bill that would disqualify former President Donald Trump from Hawaii’s 2024 ballot squeaked through a procedural vote on Tuesday by a single vote.

In the 3-2 vote, the Hawaii Senate Judiciary Committee approved Senate Bill 2392, HawaiiNewsNow reported. Unlike other states, Hawaii does not have a legal process to remove the former president from the state’s ballot, giving the state election officer the power to decide if he can stay on the ballot, according to the outlet.
