Will Ron DeSantis still appear on Conn. primary ballot?

The lineup for Connecticut’s presidential primary is already facing potential revisions, just days after the list of qualifying candidates was revealed.

On Sunday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that he was suspending his presidential bid, after he received lackluster support in Iowa. DeSantis was one of four Republican candidates who qualified to appear on Connecticut’s April 2 presidential primary ballot, Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas announced last week.

DeSantis — or any other candidate who decides to call it quits in the coming weeks — has until noon on Feb. 26 to inform the Secretary of the State’s office in writing that they no longer wish to remain on the ballot, according to spokeswoman Tara Chozet.

After that point, Secretary Thomas will formally announce the order in which the candidates will appear on ballots, which will begin printing soon after. The first absentee ballots will be made available to voters on March 12.

As of Monday morning, Chozet said the office has yet to receive any formal notice from DeSantis.

Along with DeSantis, the other Republicans who qualified for Connecticut’s ballot were former President Donald Trump, former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and businessman Ryan Binkley.

On the Democratic ballot, President Joe Biden, Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, author Marianne Williamson and political commentator Cenk Uygur all qualified to appear on the ballot, according to Thomas’ office. Additional candidates may still qualify to appear on the primary ballot if they submit petitions signed by at least 1 percent of the voters registered in their respective party.

Last year, Connecticut lawmakers voted to move the date of the presidential primary up by four weeks to the beginning of April, in hopes of attracting more active candidates to the state. Instead, it looks increasingly likely that the race will already be locked up by the two current front-runners, Biden and Trump, who hold commanding leads in nearly every poll.
