Washington's state Senate passed a bill this week that would drop President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on potential candidacy: 'I have the most progressive record' Left-wing Dems in minority with new approach to spending Washington Senate passes bill that would keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax returns MORE from the state's 2020 presidential ballot until he releases his tax returns.

The bill, which advanced Tuesday to the state's House of Representatives, according to CBS News, would require any candidate on the ballot for president in the state to release five years of tax returns before appearing in a general or primary election.

Senators voted by a 28-21 margin to approve the bill, according to CBS.

Democrats who supported the bill said the provision was necessary to force a return to norms surrounding the release of presidential candidates' tax returns.

Republicans, however, argued that the state was getting into questionable territory by attempting to impose rules on a federal election.

Trump caused controversy throughout the 2016 campaign with his refusal to release his tax returns, claiming at the time to be under audit by the IRS.

A similar bill recently advanced in New Jersey's state Senate and is currently sitting in the state's General Assembly. »
