Overview
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his independent presidential campaign in August and endorsed Donald Trump, urging voters not to vote for him.
- Kennedy remains on the ballot in nearly 30 states, including battlegrounds like Michigan and Wisconsin, despite efforts to remove his name to avoid spoiling the election.
- The Supreme Court recently denied Kennedy's appeals to have his name removed from ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin, citing no detailed reasoning.
- Polls indicate Kennedy still garners support from some Republicans and independents, which could impact the tight race between Trump and Kamala Harris.
- Kennedy's endorsement of Trump includes potential cabinet roles focused on health, with Trump expressing openness to some of Kennedy's policy proposals.
