Cenk Uygur Barred from Democratic Presidential Primary Ballot in Arkansas

The 'Young Turks' host, a naturalized U.S. citizen, argues 14th Amendment eligibility as several states reject his candidacy.

Cenk Uygur, host of 'The Young Turks', has been barred from appearing on the Democratic presidential primary ballot in Arkansas.
Uygur, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Turkey, has argued that the 14th Amendment makes him eligible to run for president.
Arkansas Secretary of State John Thurston stated that Uygur is not qualified to hold the elected office for which he filed.
Uygur has been rejected from appearing on the ballots in several other states, including New Hampshire and Nevada.
Uygur announced in October that he was challenging President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination.
