Ken Martin, the chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party, submitted a list of presidential candidates to the Minnesota Secretary of State on Dec. 13. Among those candidates was Cenk Uygur, a left-wing, Turkish-born political commentator who is ineligible to be president of the United States.
The founder of a leftist web show called “The Young Turks,” Uygur is running his 2024 presidential campaign on a pro-abortion and pro-ceasefire platform. However, Uygur is ineligible to serve as president under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America. The section reads, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
Uygur was born in Turkey to Turkish parents before his family emigrated to the United States and became citizens. Many states, including Arkansas, New Hampshire, Nevada, and others, have denied Uygur’s attempts to appear on the ballot given his foreign-born status.
