The Supreme Court has declined to consider Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s request to have his name removed from the ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin. Kennedy, who had sought to withdraw his candidacy from these states, was aiming to streamline his campaign’s ballot presence elsewhere. However, with the Court’s decision, his name will remain on both states’ ballots, marking a setback for his election strategy.
Kennedy’s campaign had argued that removing his name from ballots in certain states was a tactical move intended to concentrate support, but with this legal effort now halted, he will continue to appear as an option for voters in both Michigan and Wisconsin. This development adds an additional layer to Kennedy’s campaign, impacting his positioning as voters prepare to head to the polls. The Supreme Court’s refusal to take up the case effectively solidifies his ballot presence in these key swing states, which could influence the race’s dynamics.
