RFK Jr. Appeals to Supreme Court for NY Ballot Reinstatement
Despite suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seeks SCOTUS intervention to restore his name on New York's presidential ballot.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has asked the U.S. Supreme Court for an emergency intervention to get his name back on New York's ballot.
- Lower courts disqualified Kennedy from the ballot, citing a false residency claim tied to a 'sham' New York address.
- Kennedy argues that his supporters have a constitutional right to vote for him, regardless of his campaign status.
- The emergency request was submitted to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who has asked for a response from New York officials by Wednesday afternoon.
- Kennedy has suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump, aiming to avoid being a spoiler in battleground states.
