Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday qualified to be on Vermont’s ballot for the 2024 Republican primary, marking a key milestone.
With the Green Mountain State down, he has now secured ballot access in 30 states and territories as the initial contest approaches, his campaign confirmed.
“Ron DeSantis’ robust ballot access operation is just another example of why he is the only candidate with the resources and grassroots organization necessary to defeat Donald Trump,” said campaign communications director Andrew Romeo. .
“DeSantis continues to outwork and out-organize the competition across the country as his message of fighting for the American people, winning on the issues that improve their daily lives, and leading our nation toward a brighter future continues to resonate. “
Just this week, the governor of the Sunshine State also scored Oklahoma, Tennessee, North Carolina, North Dakota, Michigan and Minnesota.
Other states and territories you are qualified for include: South Carolina, US Virgin Islands, New Hampshire, Washington, Massachusetts, Nevada, American Samoa, Missouri, Virginia, Iowa, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Georgia, Idaho, Washington DC, Hawaii, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Texas and Maine.
Qualifying for ballot access typically involves a maze of signatures and other requirements that vary from state to state.
