Supreme Court Denies Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'S Ballot Withdrawal

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visits the U.S.-Mexico border

The Supreme Court made a decision on Tuesday regarding Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s attempt to withdraw his name from ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin. Kennedy, who had suspended his campaign in August and endorsed former President Donald Trump, sought to have his name removed from the ballots in these battleground states. However, state election officials argued that it was too late to make such changes as early and absentee voting had already begun.

The Supreme Court, without providing further explanation as is common in emergency cases, declined Kennedy's request. Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented in the Michigan case. This decision came after Kennedy had previously asked the court to help him get on the ballot in New York, a request that was also rejected.
