Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), who caucuses with the Democrats, has come out against the state booting former President Donald Trump from its 2024 ballot.

“Under the established Constitutional process, the Senate was called upon to determine this precise question in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial in January, 2021. While I voted with a bipartisan majority to convict, the required two-thirds of the Senate did not do so,” he said in a Dec. 29 statement posted on X.
