Lawmakers in California, Washington, and New Jersey are considering measures that would block President Donald Trump from appearing on the 2020 presidential election ballot unless he releases his tax returns.
In Washington, the state’s Democratic-controlled Senate passed a bill March 12 that requires candidates for president and vice president to submit five of their most recent tax returns in order to appear on the primary and general election ballots. Lawmakers voted 28-21 to pass the measure, advancing it to the state’s House of Representatives.
