Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s competing for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said that he will not heed fellow presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy’s call to withdraw from the primary ballot in Colorado after the state’s supreme court ruled to bar former President Donald Trump from the ballot.

Mr. Ramaswamy condemned the Colorado Supreme Court’s 4–3 ruling, which makes President Trump the first candidate in U.S. history to be deemed ineligible to make a White House bid, and vowed to withdraw from the GOP primary ballot in Colorado.
