In response to widespread public engagement prompted by Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan stated on Monday that he has no plans to exclude any candidates from the 2024 Republican primary ballot in the state.

 Kirk had encouraged people to reach out to Scanlan's office following rumors that Scanlan was contemplating the invocation of the 14th Amendment to disqualify Donald Trump, the 45th President, from appearing on the ballot.

Scanlan had earlier met with attorney Bryant "Corky" Messner to discuss Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, as reported by Breitbart News. This clause prohibits public officials who have "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against" the United States from holding office. Messner, who had previously run for State Senate with Trump's endorsement, was the one to bring up the matter with Scanlan.

Messner stated, "It may seem strange, but I don't see myself as betraying Trump. I've taken an oath to this country, served it, and my sons are serving it as well. I believe it's crucial to have a legal interpretation of this section by the Supreme Court."
