Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says it’s going to be a “nasty” year for US politics following Colorado and Maine’s banning of Trump from state ballots.
“There’s going to be a chance that he may not be on a couple of different ballots going into the election,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia.
“I don’t think it makes a real difference directly because these are not states that Donald Trump could win … so it doesn’t really change the outcome.
“But it’s just simply going to raise the temperature.
“It’s going to be a very, very interesting, very difficult year for electoral politics here in the United States.”
