A New York City councilman is circulating a letter urging the state Board of Elections to disqualify former president Donald Trump from New York’s 2024 primary and general-election ballots because his actions in the wake of the 2020 election allegedly violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which forbids individuals who have “engaged in insurrection” from seeking federal office.

Councilman Shekar Krishnan’s office sent the letter to other members of the council this week asking them to sign-on in support, according to an email obtained by National Review.
