Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially qualified for the ballot in Michigan, a crucial battleground state that could play a significant role in determining the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. Kennedy, along with his running mate Nicole Shanahan, was nominated by the Natural Law Party, a minor party with ballot access in the state. The Michigan Secretary of State’s office confirmed the approval of Kennedy's nomination, ensuring his presence on the state's ballot.
Michigan's electoral landscape is highly contested, with both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump vying for support in the state. Recent polling data shows Kennedy polling at 12% among Michigan voters, trailing Trump at 39% and Biden at 37% in a hypothetical six-candidate ballot scenario. In a head-to-head matchup between Trump and Biden, Trump leads with 48% support compared to Biden's 45%.
