RFK Jr. Appeals to Supreme Court for New York Ballot Inclusion Despite Campaign Suspension
Kennedy, who endorsed Trump, challenges lower court rulings on his residency and seeks to remain on the ballot in New York.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has asked the Supreme Court to reinstate his name on New York’s presidential ballot after being removed for residency issues.
- Kennedy suspended his independent campaign in August and endorsed Donald Trump, aiming to withdraw from battleground state ballots but remain in others.
- Lower courts ruled that Kennedy falsely claimed a New York address as his primary residence, leading to his disqualification.
- Kennedy's legal team argues that the residency requirement places an undue burden on voters and violates his constitutional rights.
- Justice Sonia Sotomayor has requested responses from New York election officials by Wednesday afternoon regarding Kennedy's emergency appeal.
