Minnesota Puts Ineligible Candidate on Presidential Ballot

Minnesota Democrats placed an ineligible, foreign-born candidate on the state’s presidential primary ballot.

Ken Martin, the chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party, submitted a list of presidential candidates to the Minnesota Secretary of State on Dec. 13. Among those candidates was Cenk Uygur, a left-wing, Turkish-born political commentator who is ineligible to be president of the United States.

The founder of a leftist web show called “The Young Turks,” Uygur is running his 2024 presidential campaign on a pro-abortion and pro-ceasefire platform. However, Uygur is ineligible to serve as president under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America. The section reads, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
