Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Qualifies for Utah Presidential Ballot

Kennedy Criticizes Major Parties' 'Undemocratic Lock' on Election Process

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has qualified for the 2024 presidential ballot in Utah, the first state to grant him access.
Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist and part of a Democratic political dynasty, is running as an independent candidate after initially planning to run for the Democratic Party nomination.
Kennedy's campaign is navigating a variety of state rules to get his name on the ballot, with the process varying widely from state to state.
Kennedy has criticized the 'undemocratic lock' that major political parties have on the election process and the obstacles faced by independent candidates.
Kennedy's campaign is expected to spend around $15 million on ballot access efforts.
