Tuesday, September 10, 2024 - The Michigan Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name will remain as a presidential candidate on the state's ballots for the Nov. 5 election, despite his request to be removed.
Kennedy dropped out as an independent candidate in the
presidential race last month and endorsed Trump, the Republican nominee and
former president, who is running against Democratic Vice President Kamala
Harris.
Kennedy has sought to remove his name from ballots in
political swing states such as Michigan and Arizona to avoid being a spoiler in
the race.
His presence on the ballot in Michigan could hurt Trump in
the politically divided state if Kennedy supporters back him rather than voting
for the former president as Kennedy now hopes.
The state Supreme Court's decision reversed an earlier
ruling by the state's Court of Appeals, which had allowed Kennedy's name to be
withdrawn from the ballot.
