Denies RFK Jr.'s Ballot Removal Requests in Key States

The court's decision keeps Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name on ballots in Wisconsin and Michigan despite his campaign suspension and endorsement of Donald Trump.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sought to remove his name from the ballots in Wisconsin and Michigan after suspending his presidential campaign in August.
  • The Supreme Court rejected Kennedy's emergency requests, citing logistical challenges and legal precedents in both states.
  • Kennedy argued that keeping his name on the ballots violated his First Amendment rights and misrepresented his willingness to serve.
  • Legal battles in state and federal courts previously upheld decisions to keep Kennedy on the ballots, with Michigan's ruling emphasizing the impracticality of reprinting ballots.
  • Justice Neil Gorsuch dissented in the Michigan case, aligning with conservative judges who favored Kennedy's removal from the ballot.
