RFK Jr. faces ballot access challenges in swing states
RFK Jr.'s Ballot Presence in Key Swing States
Despite suspending his presidential campaign, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will remain on the ballots in Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. This unexpected development could potentially impact Donald Trump's performance in these crucial swing states.
Ballot removal rules and deadlines in these states prevent Kennedy's name from being removed. In Michigan and Wisconsin, candidates can't be removed unless they die, while North Carolina's election board deemed it too late for removal.
Small margins could matter greatly in Michigan and Wisconsin, states known for their tight races in recent presidential elections.
Polls suggest Kennedy's supporters tend to favor Trump over Harris. While it's uncertain how many votes Kennedy might receive, historical precedents show that withdrawn candidates can still garner significant support, potentially affecting the outcome in close races.
